The Sabino, a small wooden coal-fired steamer ship at the Mystic Seaport Museum, is one of only two surviving members of the American "mosquito fleet". These small steamers served the inland waters of the United States.[1]

The ship was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1992.[1][3] It was built in 1908 in East Boothbay, Maine by W. Irving Adams and was primarily used as a ferry in Maine.[3] It currently operates at the seaport for tours.[4]
