Summary

Johnny Gallagher is named as engineer aboard the Beaver Islander during its December 27, 1968 final-season crossing. The report places him with Captain Lawrence McDonough and first mate Russ Green during the storm return to Charlevoix.1

The article does not provide his birth date, biography, or a civil identity bridge to other Gallagher records. The printed “Johnny Gallagher” and the episode-qualified role are retained without merging him into the broader Gallagher family record.
