The Former
Blue Star Ithaki now has a brand new permanent name! When she enters service between Digby and Saint John next month (if all goes according to plan), she will be named
Fundy Rose. Fundy Signifies the Bay of Fundy while
Rose signifies Rose Fortune, someone from Annapolis Royal who started a business in 1825 carrying luggage from local hotels and the ferry docks and acting as the waterfront police officer in Annapolis Royal. A fitting and appropriate name for a great ship that hopefully we will see for decades to come.
