View from a weathered boat interior through a large window toward sailboats, water, and a wooded shoreline.

Posted to Beaver Island Historical Society (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Historical Society on 2015-07-19 02:42:55. Caption as posted: "Inside the fishing tug Bob S. Go aboard and feel the bygone era. Kids of all ages love the look and feel this popular display brings."

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A black-and-white photograph shows a weathered wooden boat interior with a large rounded-corner window. Ropes, hardware, and other nautical equipment rest on the wooden surface in the foreground. Through the window are rippling water, a sailboat, part of another small boat, and a tree-lined shoreline with scattered buildings.

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.

Subjects and keywords

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 caption identifies the display as the fishing tug Bob S. and describes it as a popular display for visitors. The image was posted by the Beaver Island Historical Society on 2015-07-19.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The names and types of the boats visible outside cannot be made out. No legible text is visible in 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.
