And the related abbreviation, MMW. In today's context MMW is the Merrymeeting Waterway proposed in the early/mid 50's by Cap'n Jack Goodhue, to build a canal and lock system from Alton Bay to Dover. Goodhue Boat Yard had just installed the lake's largest capacity rail travel lift and he wanted to service 60'-80' yachts. In those days, Selectmen and Chambers of Commerce wanted large boats to come to public docks as a tourist attraction. Wolfeboro even had water and electricity on the "Cruiser dock".

Happy AFD.
