- Reports Coast Guard Cutter Acacia arriving April 4 around 6:30 p.m., breaking harbor ice, staying overnight, and giving the crew liberty. It says Acacia returned April 14 with gasoline and fuel oil, stayed overnight, and the crew toured the island. It does not provide a cutter log, cargo manifest, exact icebreaking work record, or complete crew list. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.data1 · beaver-island-archive · beaver_beacon · 1959-05_Beaver-Beacon
- The held four-page issue PDF is paired with the canonical OCR source and confirms both Acacia visits and their reported purposes; it does not expand the vessel or logistics record.data1 · beaver-island-archive · scans · beaver_beacon · issues · 1959-05_Beaver-Beacon
