Promotional graphic showing two BusinessRate 2025 tour operator award plaques and a congratulatory headline.

Posted to Beaver Island Boat Company (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Boat Company on 2026-04-15 17:33:58. Caption as posted: "This recognition is part of the BusinessRate BEST of 2025 Beaver Island Awards in the Tour Operator category, which identifies local leaders in customer satisfaction, brand reputation, and service excellence by using Google review data. This outstanding achievement was earned by authentic feedback based by customers on Google and not earned by an application or nomination. What a honor. We are excited for what 2026 will bring."

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A vertical promotional graphic displays a congratulatory headline above two black-and-gold award plaques, one tall and one rectangular. Both plaques have honeycomb-patterned backgrounds, circular award emblems, and white and gold lettering. A repeated diagonal sample watermark crosses the image, and a Google Recent Reviews line appears along the bottom.

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 Facebook post by Beaver Island Boat Company, published April 15, 2026. The accompanying caption says the recognition is part of the BusinessRate BEST of 2025 awards in the Tour Operator category and was based on Google review data.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The repeated diagonal watermark is only partly legible; it appears to include wording such as “SAMPLE” and “NOT FOR...”

Rights and credit

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

Credit this to Individual posters, credited per image when you use it.

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.
