A large white-and-green vessel sits inside a concrete dry dock, viewed from low near its rounded bow.

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A large white vessel with dark green lower hull panels and a narrow gold stripe fills the frame. Its rounded bow and bulbous underwater projection are visible above supports on the dry-dock floor. Concrete walls, railings, cables, and work lights line both sides of the dock, with partial lettering visible high on the hull.

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 image was posted to the Beaver Island Boat Company Facebook page by Beaver Island Boat Company on September 26, 2012. The catalogue record identifies the source as a community photograph from a public Facebook page.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

Additional lettering is cropped and only partly visible near the upper edges of the hull; the vessel's full name cannot be confirmed from the image.

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.
