Sunday, October 2, 1960 @ 1820 		PENNYWORTH (1958-1973 An ore carrier 505 feet overall of R S Dalgliesh, Newcastle : 1983 scrapped at Spezia, Italy) Own Page

Dalgleish's ore carrier PENNYWORTH leaves Glasgow for Seven Islands, Canada
Sailing forSeven Islands, CanadaPort of RegistryNewcastle (England, U.K.)
Sailed from berthGeneral Terminus Quay, Glasgow
Outward cargoGeneral
Draught forward on sailing17' 7"
Draught aft on sailing19' 8"

The Dock Logbook - which is a formal and legal document - shows PENNYWORTH leaving Glasgow for Seven Islands - which is an iron ore port - carrying a general cargo to that port.
Whether the entry for general cargo is a simple mistake - and the vessel departed, as normally she did, as light-ship - or whether the ship actually did take a general cargo of some quantity or description - is probably something which will never be discovered.
