Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A black-and-white photograph shows a large white passenger vessel moving through choppy water. The vessel has several enclosed decks, a tall smokestack, a small wheelhouse, and dark lettering on its side. An elevated tower-like structure stands at the right edge of the image.
A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Taken from the record
Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.
The catalogue places the image in a page or archive path titled “1900_Ferry,” attributes it to beaverisland.net, and identifies the object class as a photograph. The record does not provide a confirmed date for the photograph.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
The function of the elevated structure at right is unclear; it may be associated with a pier or harbor facility.

Why this archive publishes it. beaverisland.net community site. No stated terms; published with credit and a link back.
Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.
Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
