Summary

The April 1962 Beaver Beacon corrected its earlier report and gave the new Beaver Islander’s length as 96 feet 4 inches.

Evidence and limits

This is a source-specific correction. It is retained alongside the March table’s 95-foot figure and a 96.5-foot Clarke Historical Library subject-card record, rather than collapsing the discrepancy.

Sources

  1. Beaver Beacon, April 1962, “Beaver Island Boat Company.”
    Corrects the March comparison table’s 95-foot length and reports that the Beaver Islander was actually 96 feet 4 inches long. The source does not explain the measurement method.
