Was this the Lyle Shipping's CAPE NELSON last visit to Glasgow ?

e-mail from T.J. of Glasgow.

   I notice from your entry for CAPE NELSON that she left Glasgow for Palermo (Sicily) and Tokyo (Japan) in

September 1959, and that she was sold in 1959 to Hong Kong buyers.

   I suspect that this sailing was probably her last visit to Glasgow and UK.

   Can anyone confirm that this was her final visit to Glasgow ?
