Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A black-and-white group photograph shows ten men in dark uniforms and peaked caps standing behind a railing on a ship’s deck. Several men rest their arms on the railing, and many sleeves have striped insignia. Bold lettering appears beneath the photograph.

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 2022-07-13 post by the Beaver Island Historical Society requesting photographs for a captains exhibit at the Marine Museum. The post lists Francis “Bud” Left, Peter Kilty, Charles Allers, Peter Green, John Roen, Con Gallagher, Ray Cull, and John “Clifford” White as requested subjects. The record credits individual posters and identifies the source as a public Facebook page.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The identities of the other men and the exact type of vessel are not established by the visible 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.
