A passenger ferry passes between crowded piers and recreational boats near a red lighthouse.

Posted to Beaver Island Boat Company (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Boat Company on 2025-07-13 12:50:00. Caption as posted: "Despite poor weather conditions yesterday morning, Boyne Thunder had many viewers along the Pine River Channel as the 11:20 Departure from Beaver Island came rolling in."

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A large white passenger ferry moves through a narrow waterway, surrounded by numerous recreational motorboats and a personal watercraft. Crowds line both piers and gather aboard the smaller boats. A red lighthouse stands beside the channel, and a boat-company logo is overlaid at the lower right.

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 to the Beaver Island Boat Company Facebook page on 2025-07-13. Its captured caption refers to poor weather the previous morning, Boyne Thunder spectators along the Pine River Channel, and an 11:20 departure.

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.
