Summary

The January 2011 Beacon reprinted a 1911 account of the fisheries industry, including the report that about one-third of the Booth Fisheries catch handled in Charlevoix came from Beaver Island.

Evidence limits

This is a later newspaper reprint, not a complete 1911 catch ledger or independent economic history.
