Summary
A March 23, 2016 notice announced that freight would begin being accepted on April 1 and that the first boat of the season was scheduled for April 6, with an 8:20 a.m. departure from Beaver Island and an 11:30 a.m. departure from Charlevoix, weather permitting.
Evidence limits
This is a contemporaneous schedule and freight notice. The original notice did not identify the operator or vessel; a contemporaneous April 6 observation supports that the first boat did arrive, but does not establish the complete sailing schedule or freight movements.
