A banquet crowd sits beneath a large 50-year anniversary graphic and chamber celebration emblem.

Caption as posted: "Thank you to the Charlevoix Area Chamber of Commerce for hosting another fantastic Annual Meeting and Award Ceremony at Castle Farms this morning. The Beaver Island Boat Company was honored to receive recognition for 50 years of membership. What an amazing, thriving and passionate community to be a part of! #RidetheBoat #VisitCharlevoix"

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A large printed graphic fills the upper portion of the image, with oversized lettering, a circular anniversary emblem, stars, and a lighthouse illustration. Below it, a crowded banquet hall shows many seated diners at round tables with white cloths, plates, glasses, utensils, place cards, and refreshments. Several people at the nearest table face the camera, while a rough stone wall and tall windows form the background.

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 the Beaver Island Boat Company on February 3, 2017. Its accompanying caption says the Charlevoix Area Chamber of Commerce hosted an Annual Meeting and Award Ceremony at Castle Farms, and that the Beaver Island Boat Company received recognition for 50 years of membership.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

Small name badges, table cards, and printed materials on the tables are not legible.

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.
