[edit] Importance
This ship is important in 18th century Canadian history of the Pacific Northwest, and the transport of Mudge back to England is a remarkable piece of sailing history. Wooden boats of this era are often poorly documented. Sea Otter trade boats may have been nominally foreign-flagged to avoid East India Company monopolies on the trade. The fact that this boat was used for official transport exposes this early use of flags of convenience.Pustelnik 02:03, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
