SPEEDWAY (7011462), Elder Dempster Lines Ltd., 1160gt,
completed Robb Caledon, Leith, 5-1970
1970 SPEEDWAY - 1970 CLEARWAY - 1978 O'SHEA EXPRESS - 2009 AHMED N (still in service, Tanzania flag)
Albert Weller slide, Southampton, circa August 1970:
Scope for confusion with this one! She carried the name for only a few months until renamed, whereupon she swapped names with Elder Dempster's previous CLEARWAY (built 1968)! Luckily, there were clear design differences between the two which confirmed I had identified the correct one!
