For generations, the M/S Mount Washington has been an icon of Lake Winnipesaukee, a beautiful symbol of New Hampshire's Lakes Region history. We are thrilled to announce an upcoming online auction of unique signs and memorabilia—artifacts recently uncovered during a deep clean of our storage facilities and shipyard. This isn't just an auction; it's a chance for enthusiasts to become the custodians of history.
Why an Online Auction?
We believe history is meant to be lived with, not locked away. By auctioning these artifacts, we are placing them directly into the hands of the people who cherish our legacy most—allowing our community to become active stewards of these stories and ensuring they continue to be displayed and appreciated for generations to come.

- Beginning January 25 and continuing each week through the month of February, we'll list items at CruiseNH.com that are available for auction.
