The Lady of the Lake.The Lady of the Lake was a steamboat that the Concord & Montreal Railroad purchased after it's first run on the Lake Winnipesaukee waters. Once the fastest and most popular boat on the lake it soon lost water when the Boston & Maine built the Mount Washington specifically for the lake to gain the tourist trade away from its competitor.
