A cream-colored event flyer lists historic whistles and horns for a museum demonstration.

Posted to Beaver Island Historical Society (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Historical Society on 2017-07-12 20:53:16. Caption as posted: "Sounds of the Harbor. Stop by the Marine Museum on July 20th and hear the whistles of the past blow. Adam Fogg will be tooting Museum Whistles and few of his own."

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A cream-colored vertical flyer uses large serif and bold type for its heading, followed by event information and a bulleted list. The list describes several whistles and horns by size, type, and historical association. Decorative diamond-shaped bullets separate the entries.

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.

Rights and credit

Community source, no stated terms; published non-commercially with attribution and a link to the original post.

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.
