Summary
The Beaver Island Boat Company completed its 1995 season as scheduled on December 20 despite record snowfall, low temperatures, heavy winds, delayed and cancelled trips, record freight, and a temporary relocation of its operating area. The February 1996 report says employees spent unscheduled nights in Charlevoix and looked forward to new facilities in summer 1996 and a new ferry the following year.
