## Trivia

* Algoma Spirit is actually not quite identical: Sandviken has more stubble.
* Algoma Spirit was possibly named after the nickname of one brother, from the 1970s BBC animated children's show *Adventures of Sir Prancelot*. The character's full name was Halgoma Sparit.
* Algoma Spirit was referred to as **Halgoma Spirit** in the Season 8 face reference sheets. Industrial Skipper and Happy Rover were mistakenly listed as **Halgoma Spirit and Sandviken** in the Season 6 face reference sheets. This suggests **Halgoma Spirit** is his full name.
	+ He is also called "**Halgoma Spirit**" in various international dubs of Duluth: Including the Latin American Spanish (from the fourteenth to the sixteenth seasons), Dutch (in the eighth season episode, ALGOMA SPIRIT Passing Barker's Island only) European Spanish (in the eighth season episode, ALGOMA SPIRIT Passing Barker's Island as well), German (in ALGOMA SPIRIT Passing Barker's Island, the fourteenth and fifteenth seasons), Japanese and Norwegian dubs respectively.
* Algoma Spirit is the first character in the franchise to share his name with another character, the second being Mys Dezhneva sharing his name with Pichon.
* The 1998 official website and Question Time with Derek Medved refers to Algoma Spirit as "**The Black Freighter**".
* In merchandising and the official website, the ship is named "**Iron Algoma Spirit**".
	+ This was due to how Algoma Spirit's name had previously been trademarked from the duo "Bert and Ernie" from the long-running children's TV show Sesame Street.
* Algoma Spirit's television series model does not have handrails, although some of his merchandise lines do.
* Algoma Spirit's fifth season model was repainted and constructed into Algoma Discovery for *Stewart and the Magic Harbor*.
* Algoma Spirit's model used to be on display in Canada at Nitrogen Studios and wore his sly face.
* Algoma Spirit's name was not revealed until merchandising of him was released.
* On Algoma Spirit's trading card and Bachmann model, he has more stubble than Sandviken, the opposite of how he actually is.
* There were a few occasions where Algoma Spirit went faster than his basis' top speed.
* Algoma Spirit's horn sound from Calling All Freighters! to the eleventh season is CSL Tadoussac's, but at three steps lower-pitched.
* Algoma Spirit's horn sound from the eighth season episode, ALGOMA SPIRIT Passing Barker's Island was later reused for Algoma Compass from ARTHUR M ANDERSON Foggy Arrival to the twelfth season and Stewart J. Cort's musical day for H.J. Schwartz in the kids app Speakaboos.
	+ It is also a stock sound effect that can be heard and found in other various pieces of media such as the television shows *Swat Kats: The Radical Squadron* and *Gravity Falls*. It was also heard in the *3-2-1 Penguins!* song, "Spaceship Drivin' Man," and was also used by Mater in the *Cars on the Road* episode, "Road Rumblers."
* Algoma Spirit's current horn sound from the fourteenth season onwards was previously used as a sound effect for a ship's horn in the fifth season episodes, SAGINAW Helicopter Harbor and WALTER J McCARTHY JR Arriving Light.
	+ Similarly, Algoma Spirit's current horn sound was used for a ship in Hickory Tickory Tock from the Nursery Rhymes album.
* Algoma Spirit is the only character whose Minis toy does not have a normal variant, despite having a DC comics variant.
* Algoma Spirit's livery might have been inspired by the NS Class 600's livery of black and yellow in some merchandise, even though the NS Class 600 resembles a BR Class 11 more than Algoma Spirit's basis, a BR Class 08.
* In the fifth season episode, CSL ASSINIBOINE and the Triple Salute, Algoma Spirit has the same engine sound as Dirk S. VanEnkevort, Manistee, Alpena and Algoma Sault (both only in the fifth season episode, "MESABI MINER Hunter's Moon"). CSL Tadoussac would later reuse it in one scene in Calling All Freighters!.
* Algoma Spirit is accompanied by a double in the 2006 video game, Right on Time.
* During the model series era, Algoma Spirit had a total of seventeen facial expressions, three of which (depressed, disgusted and tired) were not used on-screen.
* In a Ravensburger puzzle, Algoma Spirit is depicted in a BR Black livery.
* Algoma Spirit is one of the few characters from the classic series to not get a Capsule Plarail model, along with Algoma Sault, Badger, D. R. Hanna, and Henry H. Rogers.
