Aratlithiel has just left Hobbiton.

Legolas and Gimli sailed West in a boat that Legolas had built after Aragorn died. I'd have to do alot more research to find out for sure, but I believe that this was the last ship to sail West and that Cirdan had already left by that time.

According to "The Tolkien Companion" by J. E. A. Tyler, Elladin and Elrohir, "...like their sister Arwen - although for different reasons - both brothers elected to become of mortal-kind." (Poor Elrond & Celebrian!) I'm not sure which piece of Tolkien's this comes from, but this Companion otherwise seems well researched and reliable.
