Sounds like it could be....anyway....doesn't the Lake Winnipesaukee cruise ship, the Mount Washington, also spell their name the same way.
So, who has the legal intellectual property right to call themselves the Mount Washington, the hotel in Bretton Woods, or the big boat on Lake Winnipesaukee? Is there a Franklin Pearce School of Law, intellectual property rights attorney on-board this forum who can make some professional comments here...........and of course say them for free....  ...?

You should probably read the article. The article specifically describes what the hotel with the Mount Washington name is trying to avoid. According to the article, they are trying to avoid
potential confusion between the Mount Washington Hotel and other hotels that use the Mount Washington name in some way. There are a couple examples in the article.
This has absolutely NOTHING to do with the m/s Mt Washington.
