Rumor (Not confirmed) is the Mount has a lot of delayed maintenance needed and will have to come out of the water soon. That may explain the purchase of a smaller vessel to keep the cash flow coming in, although it may appeal to a different clientele.
Times have changed. The large bus tours with 55 to 60 seniors aboard did not happen last year. They may not happen this year either.
I remember in the 70's and 80's seeing the Mount go by. The passengers were stacked two deep at the rail and the boat looked crowded. The last few years the small amount of passengers has made the boat look almost empty. The cash flow has to have dropped significantly.
