Summary

The January 2013 Beaver Beacon publishes Larry Hansz’s transcription of Bob French’s log aboard the Ford Motor Company tug Barrallton and supplies historical context about Captain Daniel Donald Brown and the Great Lakes vessels in the account.

Evidence limits

The issue notes that the log’s year is uncertain. This record treats it as a publication and family-history source, not as a newly dated voyage record.
