A fact from Mail jumping appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 19 June 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the last remaining mail delivery boat in the United States delivers with mail jumpers?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/June.

Not the last mail boat

The statement in the article "The Walworth II is the last remaining mail delivery boat in the United States" is entirely incorrect. There are at least two others I am aware of, and perhaps more. On the detroit river there is a US Mail boat that deliveries mail by boat to passing ships (the mail boat has its very own zip code!) and in Alabama on the Magnolia River mail is delivered by boat to mailboxes on the end of docks. 166.248.69.240 (talk) 16:36, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Then you need to find proof because the sentence is reliably sourced with a citation provided from this source. Royal broil 04:57, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
