| Also, the British Umtata and the Dutch Phrontis left port that day, but the author of the diary does not know their pendant numbers. According to A. Hague, Umtata had station 36, while the Dutch vessel had station 65.
Additionally, the Norwegian Boreas is said to have joined from St. John's, N.F. A. Hague has also included the British Empress of Asia in this convoy (station 52, detached Sept. 25). This ship is not mentioned in T. Agar's diary. Dan-y-Bryn, Lindenhall and Varanger are all listed in the slow Convoy SC 45 (external link), departing Sydney, C.B. on Sept. 18-1941, arriving Liverpool Oct. 4. * It looks like Ville d'Anvers must have detached for Iceland - she's listed in Convoy PQ 1 for Archangel, which left Hvalfjord on Sept. 29-1941. She returned with Convoy QP 2 from Archangel on Nov. 3. Dan-y-Bryn later sailed to Archangel with Convoy PQ 4, leaving Hvalfjord on Nov. 17-1941 (this external site has more details on PQ 1 and PQ 4). |

Note: The first ship to leave was Port Alma at 07:13 (possibly the Commodore Ship?), and with a few minutes between each ship, the last was the escorting HMS Ranpura some time after 16:00 that afternoon (appears to have departed over 3 hours after the last ship El Argentino had left at 12:43). Counting the escorting vessel, the names of 47 ships are given. I've listed the names according to nationality, keeping the sequence of departure within each nationality. |
