"Mosquito Fleet" was the term being used in 1916 for the collection of yachts and other small, fast watercraft volunteered by their owners to the U.S. Navy to protect the coast and harbors in the event of war. This group of photos is of training maneuvers held around Long Island the week of September 3, 1916 to assess the capabilities of such a fleet.
"More Than Forty Speedy Private Craft Will Hunt Submarines and Go Scouting.
The Navy Department's dream of motor boat reserves for service as scouts, submarine hunters, and dispatch carriers will be realized this week, when on Tuesday more that forty of the finest private craft will be mobilized for a week's training with submarines, destroyers, and other vessels of the Atlantic fleet."

The LOC Bain collection has many shots of the Maine as she began this training cruise in August:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Maine_%28ACR-1%29#Raising_and_f... On Feb. 15, 1898, the U.S. battleship Maine blew up in Havana Harbor, killing 260 crew members. She was raised in 1910-12, and towed out to sea to be sunk again on March 16, 1912. This was likely taken in 1912. The state of repair is comparable to the new York Tribune's front page on March 16, 1912.
