Aerial view of a green-striped ferry entering a channel beside waterfront buildings and docks.

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

An aerial photograph shows a large white ferry with a green stripe moving through dark water, leaving a wake. The channel is lined with docks, boats, rocky shore protection, houses, and other waterfront buildings, with a bridge crossing it in the distance. A church steeple rises among trees on the left, and open blue water extends beyond the shoreline.

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 the post as published by the Beaver Island Boat Company on 2017-08-25 and credits the image to John Doskoch of the Charlevoix Photography Club.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The name or lettering on the ferry is not legible. The distant white structure beyond the shoreline cannot be identified with certainty.

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.
