Some slides taken by Albert Weller, undated but I imagine during her call in Middlesbrough Dock while on her maiden voyage. (What, yet another ship visit I missed?!):

Lovely picture of Boswell fitting out. What an amazing difference a picture taken from the same place as the first picture would make today. Even buildings on the sky line have gone now and retail parks dominate the same view. Lovely memory though.

A Lamport&Holt vessel but showing Chinese Republic Flag in 1979, was she sold during her build? Not uncommon at that time as there where a number of Shipowners sold their newbuilds for profit whilst they were still being completed or shortly afterwards transferring after their maiden voyage.

Thanks N.E. certainly not long with British Owners, I wonder if 'Containerisation' brought about her early disposal, on the Tees if the vessel could not get under the Sheerlegs the large Floating Crane had to be used to lift the Containers off the Decks of the conventional Cargo Vessels if I remember correctly until either British Shipowners embraced Containers or as most did just closed shop putting Merchant Seamen out of work unless they went Foreign Flag. :(

Was wondering if I had got the original Info. wrong but I think that was a direct copy from Equasis, so they probably gave you a wrong steer.

The order for BOSWELL was placed on the 14th May 1976 by Balkermount Ltd which was part of the Vestey Group.
The Contract was signed by Boswell Shipping Co Ltd. (Lamport and Holt Line Ltd) Liverpool on the 11th October 1976.
Keel Laid 1st November 1978.
Launched 11th April 1979.
Completed 2nd July 1979 British Flag.

August 1983. Sold to Chinese-Tanzanian Joint Shipping Co., Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania and renamed SHUN YI under the Chinese flag.
2002: Renamed XI RUN (Miramar has 2004)
2006: HE PING 28
Deleated 2013.
