I’m not too in favor of the name, yet I fully understand and get the point though as far as the Bear as part of the Algoma logo thing. What to me don’t make much sense, CSL went back to its roots when they had the Trillium-class ships built in China such as Baie St. Paul, Thunder Bay and Whitefish Bay. So far, Algoma has used the Captain Henry Jackman on one of its new ships. My point is, CSL chose a few old names for their new ships yet Algoma doesn’t seem to want to use much of their old names on their new ships. I’m surprised to not see the Navigator name used again or the Montrealais or Quebecois names. To me Montreal would at least honor the city of Montreal and Quebec the province. Also, why not have a ship named the Algoma Century since Algoma has been around for more than 100 or more years! I could see the Progress as a name they once held and could use as far as progress in the fact of them building new ships and making progress. Just my two cents on all this.
