Summary
In May 2012, islanders marked the Beaver Islander ferry’s fiftieth season. A follow-up forum post supplied more precise 1962 arrival, maiden-voyage, and christening dates than the initial celebration post.

- The thread celebrates the Beaver Islander's fiftieth season and links a Petoskey News report; a later correction states that the vessel arrived at St. James in July 1962 and made its maiden Charlevoix voyage July 28, with christening August 5.
