Summary
The May 2011 Beacon marks the first barge run of spring and shows the Wendy Anne arriving at the Ironton dock. The short report is a seasonal shipping marker rather than a detailed cargo manifest.
Evidence limits
The OCR column order interleaves this item with the adjacent golf notice, so this record preserves only the clear barge-run and vessel claims; it does not infer a precise arrival date or cargo from the photographs.
