Full starboard bows view of M.V. OBUASI berthed outside 'B' shed at the western end of King's Dock, Swansea.

M.V. OBUASI (2) (5883gt). Built by Harland & Wolff, Belfast for Elder-Dempster Line. Launched June 1952. She was one of the Elder-Dempster's "cadet" ships where the deck crew consisted of twenty apprentices (all E-D apprentices were required to do nine months training aboard a working ship). She was sold to a Hong Kong firm in 1972 but was lost in the Irriwaddy River very soon afterwards.
