Caption as posted: "From the BIHS Oral History Archives: The late Charlie Martin (1906-1984), in a 1976 interview with then-BIHS Director Shirley Gladish (1926-2018), recalls the hazards of crossing the ice by automobile: "Well we had some great experiences on that ice... we'd use a little truck... you had to be awful careful with it though, boy. They'd go in the lake awful quick on ya. I near got drownded out here between here and Garden Island... we got to the other side of Garden Island going to Naubinway. And it started to snow awful bad.

A black-and-white photograph shows a man in a dark coat and flat cap standing beside a vintage open-cab pickup truck. The truck has large spoked wheels, round headlamps, and a wooden-sided rear bed. Snow covers the ground, with trees and wooden buildings in 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 the image as a photograph posted in 2019 with an accompanying caption from an oral-history archive. The caption names Charlie Martin and Shirley Gladish, gives their life dates as 1906–1984 and 1926–2018, and says a 1976 interview concerned the hazards of crossing ice by automobile, including a trip toward Garden Island and Naubinway.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
The exact vehicle make, model, date, and identities of people or buildings cannot be determined from the image alone.

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.
