Just a note to mention the Mini Mount's 17th anniversary July 4th ! A plaque has been made to go onboard, it reads as follows; Gilford NH, July 4th, 2012. The MV Little Mount Washington, affectionately known as the "Mini Mount" was launched July 4th, 1995 after seven years in the making. Built by Jack Miller of Wolfeboro, Ed Aleska of Ossipee and friends. Rescued in the fall of 2011 from Center Harbor by Doug Smith and Tim Lacey of Wentworth Cove Laconia. In tribute to Capt. John J LaPlante, MVYC, J14, the "Orion" (John was a retired airline pilot and avid sailor at Mountain View Yacht Club)
