The Rosario was one of seven ships in the Rio series built in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
All were rebuilt in 1968-69, with the two
oldest fitted with a 100-ton heavy crane each as seen in the photo below
of the Rio de Janeiro (10,347 grt, 569 ft. long in 1969). She was sold
to be broken up in 1980.
