Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A large white passenger ferry with a dark green lower hull is moored along a waterfront. The vessel has several decks, rows of windows, railings, and the name “EMERALD ISLE” painted on its side. In the foreground, a dark sculpture sits on a paved area beside a vertical sign; leafless trees, lawns, rocks, and multi-story buildings appear under a gray sky.
A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Taken from the record
Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.
The catalogue record identifies this as a photograph posted by Beaver Island Boat Company to its Facebook page on 2011-12-23 at 17:11:42. The record gives the source as a community Facebook collection and the original Facebook photo URL.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
The final words on the vertical foreground sign are not fully legible. The dark foreground object appears to be a sculpture, but its subject cannot be determined with certainty.
Rights and credit
Community source, no stated terms; published non-commercially with attribution and a link to the original post.
Credit this to Individual posters, credited per image when you use it.
Why this archive publishes it. Public Facebook groups and pages run by island organisations and residents. Each item credits the poster by name and links to the original post. Removal on request.
Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.
Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
