Summary
Guy Robie was named in a 1922 report involving a launch that lost its engine while carrying Father Dorotheus Philips and four children from Saint James toward Petoskey. A 1942 retrospective calls him the captain of the cabin launch Alice K; the contemporary report uses the variant “Roble” in its normalized text.
Evidence and limits
The sources do not provide a residence, age, family, or independent vessel record for Robie. The article therefore preserves only the event-specific identity and the spelling variation.
Open questions
- Can Charlevoix, Petoskey, or vessel records identify Guy Robie beyond this episode?
- Was “Roble” an OCR or print variation, and what was the launch’s actual name in 1922?
