M/V Mount Washington Late 1950's (postcard photo by Dick Smith)

carguy — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 16:41:15 +0000

by: carguy

Description: Postcard photo showing the Mount in the late 1950's. The third deck and aluminum roof have been added, and the life boats have been removed. The black hulled vessell in the davits was a Grumman motorboat that was used as a launch for emergency purposes. The lifeboat style boats were removed sometime in the early 1950's. The stern and fantail area of the Mount were open aired and not enclosed as the Mount looks today. In addition the Mount is only 205 feet long in this photo. The Mount was cut in half and a 25' pre-fabricated hull section was added in 1983.

Mount Pre-WWII circa. 1941

Description: SS MT WASHINGTON II pictured at Alton Bay. This is how the Mount looked when she was first put into service (late 1940 or 1941). Notice the plume of smoke from the stack. The Mount had steam boilers and engines prior to WWII. The pilot house is on the second deck. In 1946 the Pilot house was moved to the third deck in order to provide better visability. In this photo, the third deck does not have any passenger seating or aluminum roof on the third deck. This was not added until 1951.
