Like ....... I can almost remember this like it was just yesterday except I wasn't born yet:

On August 12, 1940, the new to the lake, MS Mount Washington was about six inches too high to fit under that bridge, so its' bilge was filled with water to lower the ship and make it fit. Since then, it has never returned back under the bridge there.

That was only 78 years ago, so was anyone on this forum there at the time and have a good photo to post with the Mount sliding under that bridge with just one inch or so to spare ........ picture that?

So, will the Mount Washington be dropping anchor at various sandbars around the lake and hauling people aboard who are so desperate for an adult beverage they'll pay 12-dollars for a cold Bud lite? Ugh ...... I so need a beer ..... thanks for stopping here ...... down the hatch ...... and bottoms up!
