Transcribed from a document received from Tony Cooper.
His source: Public Records Office, Kew.

CU 1 through CU 4 had departure port Curacao for Liverpool.
CU 5 started out from New York City to Liverpool.
CU 6 originated in Curacao again.
The rest of the CU series - CU 7 through CU 73 - departed from New York City.
For more info on the CU convoys, please see my page about CU 1.

All these ships were tankers, except the last 3, and all were American.

Notes:
* When comparing the above list of ships with a list received from D. Kindell, based on Arnold Hague's own research, I find that A. Hague has not included Sharpsburg in this convoy.

Commodore was in Santa Cecilia, Vice Commodore in Cross Keys.

Commodore's notes are not available.

Escorts (Received from Don Kindell - His source: The late Arnold Hague's database):
USS Amesbury
USS Bates
USS Blessman
USS Bunch
USS Chatelain
They all joined on Nov. 20-1943 and remained till Dec. 1.
