History was made this week when the container ship COSCO Boston made her first visit to the city for which she was named.

The China Ocean Shipping Company (COSCO), one of the world's largest steamship lines, selected the name to cement a seven-year-old relationship of growing business at the Port of Boston.

The COSCO Boston is the largest vessel in the Chinese shipping company's fleet to call Boston, and is only one of four ships in the 150-ship fleet to be named for a US port city.
