Summary
The September 1957 Beaver Beacon reported that a September 15 boat-schedule change would create an overnight layover on Beaver Island. Departures were listed as 8:00 AM from Beaver Island and 1:15 PM from Charlevoix daily except Sunday. The same notice said August carried more passengers and cars than any previous year and that plane traffic was increasing.
Evidence and limits
