The five outstanding photos above were taken by photographer Walter Merryman in the 1930’s.
The next three photos show the Mount Washington run aground on One Mile Island in Center Harbor. The low-speed accident occurred in a fog, early in the season of 1910, and resulted in no damage to the vessel, although it took two days to dislodge her from her unintentioned berth.
