Summary
The Beaver Beacon reported that Emerald Isle finally appeared around Whiskey Point on April 18, 1962, after an eighteen-day delay. The same issue announced a conditional $68,000 sale to Arnold Transit Lines, to take effect when the Beaver Islander was delivered, with the ferry intended for the Mackinac Island run.
Evidence and limits
The source establishes an arrival report and a conditional sale announcement. It does not establish a signed closing, transfer of title, delivery of the new ferry, or the later operation of Emerald Isle by Arnold Transit Lines.
