Disneyland's Very Own Fleet - Did You Know
6/13/2005





By: Tina

Disneyland once boasted one of the largest 'nautical fleets' in regular/daily passenger use in the Western Hemisphere!

Jungle Cruise -- as many as 10 , maybe more (Congo Queen, Yangtze somethin', and others)

Pirates of the Caribbean-- too numerous to count -- and yes, they have names (repeated - Camille, Marie, etc.)

Mark Twain--ONE!!

Columbia--ONE!!

Tom Sawyer Rafts--THREE!!--Injun Joe, Tom Sawyer, and Becky Thatcher

Indian War Canoes-- no fewer than 10

Mike Fink Keel Boats--TWO! -- Bertha Mae and Gullywhumper

Storybookland Canal Boats--no fewer than 10-Flora, Fauna, Merriweather, Faline, Flower, etc.

Motor Boat Cruise--too numerous to count—I can not remember if they displayed names, kinda think they did though.

"it's a small world" --too numerous to count

Submarine Voyage-- at least six-- Ethan Allen, Skipjack, Seawolf, Nautilus, and others (George Washington?)

If each vessel/water craft was counted it adds up to a big number and yes, Splash Mountain 'Logs' count too!!--too numerous to count!!

Before the Canal Boats were re-themed to Disney Princess names, they were each registered in Denmark!!

I am only counting those in use for Guests. Not utility craft for Show services purposes.

I may have missed some? I didn't countare the Neverland Galleons as they do not travel by water, but by Pixie Dust!!

My favorite vessel of all is the Columbia-- she boasts the finest figurehead, the maiden at the front, sailors believed she was the soul of the ship.
