Summary

Philip “Don” Burke was reported returning to the Great Lakes for the 1974 season. The notice gives a Marine Port Office address in Sault Ste. Marie but does not name his vessel, rank, employer, or route.

Evidence and limits

This source is linked to the episode-qualified 1972 Philip “Don” Burke record because the name and maritime context match, but it does not supply an independent civil identity bridge or voyage record.
