ALGOMA CENTRAL CORPORATION.

The early funnel in A389 comes from a black-and-white photograph of Leafield, which sank in 1913.

A855 shows the bear walking aft, with red and white outer rings and “MARINE” in place of “CORPORATION”. The 1994 Know Your Ships still assigns it to the railway’s Marine Division. Its photograph of Algonorth shows a thick black outline around the funnel badge, unlike the book’s livery illustration. Bow photographs from 1982 show the Marine wording.

In A856, photographs of Algocape from 5 November 2006 and 4 May 2007 show “MARINE”, a bear facing forwards on both sides, and a thick black outline around the annulet without intervening white. Algontario already showed “CORPORATION” on 2 September 2005, but Algorail still had “MARINE” on 13 July 2007: the change was gradual. Know Your Ships 2000 gives “TANKERS” for that company, whereas Algoscotia on 4 January 2006 and Algosea on 7 June 2007 both show “CORPORATION”. Algosoo’s port-side photograph of 20 June 2012 differs in having an entirely black bear, rather than a white face or white markings, and green rather than black ground markings.
