| * The ship in station 83 is probably a mis-spelling of the Canadian Cristoph van Doornum (see Empire Commerce on this external page). The ship in station 84 is listed as J. McGee on the A 1 form, I'm guessing it should be James Magee. * Sirikishna may not have sailed, or returned to port - she's also listed in the next convoy, HX 13. ** From HXF 11. A. Hague has also included the British North Cornwall, with a note saying "not listed, certainly in this convoy" - see his listing for HX 12 on the page ships in all HX convoys. |
