I still hear the horn when the Mount comes into Alton Bay on Sundays. You can hear it around 11ish and again in the afternoon on its return trip.

The thing that I do miss is the clap clap of the old diesel engines smokestack. You could hear it coming from afar.

Went on the Mount on Sunday, they used the usual horn blasts as they were leaving each port and the whistles to say "hi" to the people waving from shore and for boats that were getting in the way as they were cruising.
