Summary
The Emerald Isle made its last reported Beaver Island trip of 1961 on December 29 and was moored in Charlevoix for the winter. The paper said McPhillip’s Flying Service would carry mail, passengers, and supplies until sailing resumed in April.
Evidence and limits
The notice establishes a seasonal layup, not permanent retirement. The April return is a reported seasonal expectation, not a dated sailing record.
