Posted to Beaver Island Boat Company (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Boat Company on 2015-01-15 16:15:51. Caption as posted: "It's #throwbackThursday with our 1992 brochure cover! The Beaver Islander was considered the "Big Boat" and the South Shore was the secondary."
Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A vertically oriented printed brochure cover uses green, red, and black lettering around two color photographs. The upper photograph shows a white ferry moving beside a waterfront dock and buildings; the lower photograph shows two white ferries on open water with passengers visible on deck. Decorative green four-leaf clovers appear near the bottom.
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 post by Beaver Island Boat Company on its Facebook page, posted 2015-01-15. The recorded caption describes the image as a 1992 brochure cover and refers to the Beaver Islander as the larger vessel and the South Shore as the secondary vessel.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
The vessel name on the ferry in the lower photograph is small but appears to read "BEAVER ISLANDER."

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.
