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.
