Algoma Central Marine — historical division/subsidiary and centennial variants

A158 has a narrow black flag border and a black-and-white badge. In its white centre a black bear walks towards the hoist over ground marked with black lines. Although Algoma Central Marine became a subsidiary in 1990, a funnel badge bearing “MARINE” was already illustrated in Know Your Ships in 1982; Rosanoski therefore considered that the maritime division might have used the flag before 1990.

The centennial flag, A857, was reported aboard Capt. Henry Jackman on 30 March 1999. Around the bear emblem is a gold ring with “CENTENNIAL” above, “1899–1999” below and laurel leaves between, all in white. Gold ropes surround the ring inside and out. A thin gold stripe follows at least the outside of the red bordure, but not the hoist. Jan Mertens also described a railway logo with the bear facing the other way, believed to have a black-and-white bear, yellow letters and a red ring; whether that logo appeared on a flag was unknown.

In the 1996 Know Your Ships, A854 turns the funnel bear forwards, although Rosanoski considered the outer rings still incorrect. The flag has “MARINE” on a red annulet rather than “CORPORATION”. The 2000 edition assigns this livery to the Algoma Central Marine Group.

Pre-1990 divisional use and later overlap remain qualified.
