General History:
It appears (in Lloyd's Registers) that this was the last ship to be sailing that was built by J. Duthie.

Note: The ship had the steam engine replaced in 1955 with an oil engine, 25a 6cy NE52 Frederikshavens Jernst & MSK FKN.
It appears that another engine replacement happened in 1982.
