Book: Farewell Old Mount
Hi All,
Doing some off-season research-with I might add some help from all of you on Winni.com-thank you. Question: Looking for a copy of Mr. Blackstones' book "Farewell Old Mount". I have found some copies available on the 'Net for $100- $150 dollars in varying condition-not a sum I would like to spend. I'm not cheap, just frugal. Happy to spend money for worthwhile results. Any help out there? I have a call into the LW Historical Society to see if they have a copy of the book on-site, but no response yet. Will call the Laconia Library tomorrow. I would also be interested in simply borrowing someones copy. If I have to buy it I will. Watch for some great stuff 2010 that I have planned to dive and then post next year; If all goes well not only will these targets not be found on any chart (like the 42 foot steamboat I found on side-scan) but they to my knowledge, have never been seen since they went down except by perhaps 1 or 2 divers; I can't say now for site-security purposes what/where they are but if I find them it will be-to me at least-amazing. Thank you for your help. Diver111 I will post videos and pictures as I did with the "Pile-Driver" barge. |

Interesting!
Hoping to bang out some more of the lake sites this up coming spring and summer as well. I will be looking on the boards frequently when the weather starts to warm back up to get the pulse of who is diving and see if we can get a group together once in a while....

Farewell Old Mount
Found a copy using the free inter-library loan system-have it now-wow-this is one amazing book; While I have in my possession about 6 books on Winni this one as far as detail and photos goes is remarkable.
Also found one on the Net I just bought for $50.00. More to come as I research and explore Winni wrecks. |

The library in Lee NH has a copy. It had only been signed out three times in 20 years hidden gem I guess.
