I found out after all this years from 1971 the ship I traveled in from Argentina to Spain what happen to it. The Cabo San Roque made 4 cruises whereas that the Cabo San Vicente made 3. The Antarctic summer 1974-5 was the very last cruise. The reason why this line disappeared was the little economical profit. On 24 January 1977, when The Cabo San Roque was in El Ferrol (Spain), the ship caught fire and it suffered from serious damage. On 1 April, it was bought by Growth Maritime Investments Ltd, the name was changed into GOLDEN MOON and it was towed to El Pireo Port to be repaired. In 1978, it was bought by the Cuban Government and it was joined to the company Navegación Mambisa with a new name AFRICA CUBA. This ship would be in charge of the transport of the army to Etiopia and Angola. In July it remained in Mariel Port (in the North of the country) and on 26 July 1982, it arrived at Barcelona Port, in tow, and it was sold to the Indian Company Mogul Lne. Ltd. settled in Bombay. The ship would be in charge of the transport of pilgrims under a new name NOOR JEHAN. In february 1984, it remained in Bombay and it was sold for scrap in Pakistan one year later.
