Summary
In a July 1971 report, the Beaver Beacon describes many Islanders seeing the replica ship Nonsuch II tied at the Beaver Islander dock. After waiting two days for fair weather, the vessel sailed down Lake Michigan toward Chicago and then Canada.
Evidence and limits
The issue establishes a Beaver Island harbor visit and the reported travel sequence, but it does not give an arrival or departure date, a precise dock location beyond the Beaver Islander dock, or an official port record.
