Many thanks to you all and Merry Christmas.

Hi Gerolf,

Giosue Borsi traded regularly to Ipswich in the seventies, for Tirrenia. There was a very similar ship the Cagliari not exact sister but also trading to Ipswich. No photos I'm afraid but I think a friend of mine will have. Hope to confirm her ID from them.
Here is information on them both.

Just found this photo of Cagliari looks very, very similar indeed.

I think you are correct, Gerolf: *Giosue Borsi.* The drawing in Talbot-Booth (1959) is identical, and I can find no evidence of sister- or near-sisterships.
