Jumping
I too recall kids jumping off the Weirs Bridge as well as the trestle in Lakeport. In the 50's-60's, the danger was not boats, but frequent trains. Also remember kids jumping off the top deck of the Mount when she was moored at the Weirs for the night but still open for tourists to walk aboard. And kids used to dive for coins when the Mount came into the dock and passengers were still on board. Also, the Judge's tower on the Weirs docks and the top deck at Irwin's Winnipesaukee Gardens.
There used to be a lot of fishing off the Governor's Island Bridge, but I don't recall jumpers.
