This ship must have been a casualty sometime between 1983 and 1990, as it does not appear in the 1990/91 Lloyd's Register.
There is another ship with that name, but it was renamed thus in 1989 and is noted as having 2 x 35T cranes fitted, so is obviously not the ship pictured.
The list of 'Previous Names' has no record for 'Miriam Borchard'.
I haven't had a chance to look through my 'Marine News' for that timeframe to find anything more.
Regards
David Ford
