Summary

Beaver Haven Marina advertised a mechanic on duty during July and August 1974, with Harold Lounsberry as the contact.

Evidence and limits

The classified notice establishes an advertised seasonal service, not ownership, business registration, bookings, or completed repairs.

Sources

  2. The held eleven-page combined May–June issue scan is paired with the OCR source stored under the archive 1974-05 key and confirms the published notice or report; it does not expand the source-specific identity, event, or outcome claims.

  3. Reports Beaver Haven rebuilding the old mill dock in St. James harbor and developing it as Beaver Haven Marina; this establishes the historical harbor-side site but does not supply a survey or street address.

  4. Places Beaver Haven’s marine store in the old brown-shingle house at Main and Freesoil and separately refers to the Beaver Haven dock in the harbor; the corner description is historical and not a surveyed parcel record.

  5. Beaver Beacon, May 2009, “Phil Gregg” obituary.
    Retrospective account says Phil Gregg and Walker Hill purchased an old sawmill and harbor frontage in 1960 and operated Beaver Haven Marina for more than 25 years; it supports the old-mill/harbor identification but does not define the dock footprint. No public copy of this file is known; the archive holds one and can provide it on request.

  6. Current OSM maps Beaver Island Marina amenities at approximately -85.5115, 45.75005 beside Bay Street. This current marina point is used as the historical Beaver Haven harbor-site representative; the held sources do not prove that the later Beaver Island Marina business occupied the same facilities.
