The 2015 anniversary discussion links to a Beaver Island News on the Net video of a Frank Mays presentation and says the survivor had previously spoken at St. James Hall; participants discussed inviting him back for Museum Week. This establishes prior community circulation and interest in the presentation, not its exact date, venue details, attendance count, or the official casualty facts, which are taken from the Coast Guard source in the related sinking record.
