Mount Question?

CEP · 03-21-2011, 01:56 AM

Does anyone know how the Mount, Sophie, and Doris are refueled?
I have never seen a refueling truck around.
Also, with the new engines in the Mount, does she use less fuel?
Just curious!

The Mount is refueled through a permanent pipeline at Weirs. The line runs from the street down the dock to the ship. A fuel truck hooks up to the street fitting and sends the fuel down the pipe. Sophie and Doris are fueled by pumping fuel to them from the Mount.

We would hand Carry fuel by can, if ever need be to keep her on her voyages over and across Lake Winnipesakee! Just a back up plan, God forbid that an earthquake would ever interrupt her refueling over here...

If you would like to read more, May I add a link...
