CONVOY HX 151
|
Departed Halifax on Sept. 22-1941 and arrived Liverpool on Oct. 7 (Arnold Hague gives 46 ships). This does not mean that all the ships arrived that port on that date; some ships had other destinations. |

Note: Empire Oryx, which was built in in 1919 as West Harshaw and became Empire Oryx in 1940, became Empire Robin at some point in 1941, but I'm not sure when, perhaps it was not until the end of the year (she later became the Dutch Ferdinand Bol 1942 - rammed and sunk by the Norwegian Norse King on July 29-1942, Convoy HS 35). Port Adelaide was the first to leave at 11:20, and with a few minutes between each ship, the last to depart was the escorting submarine depot ship HMS Forth leaving Pier 28 at 17:15, several hours behind the last ship Bic Island which left at 14:23. A notation for HMS Forth says "flying flags L, 5 & 9, and at 5.37 pm she passed through the gate". I've listed them according to Nationality, keeping the sequence of departure within each nationality. |
| Complete list of ships according to nationality: The British Port Adelaide, Mathura, Eastern City (Hurricane LUJ), Empire Oryx, Empire Falcon, Dolabella, British Prudence, Adula, Peisander, Asbjørn (Danish, sailing under the Canadian Governm. 1940-1946), Clan Mactavish (the Norwegian Sophocles is also noted in the same station. She departed at 12:41, left the convoy at 14:50, anchored south of St. George's, then later sailed on independently, perhaps she had some sort of a problem? I assume Clan Mactavish then moved into her station), Athelprincess, Empire Mica, Empire Barracuda, Tamaroa, Umtali, Historian, Daghestan, Empire Spray, San Cipriano, Raby Castle, La Cordillera, Shillong and Bic Island (with a notation saying "she is captured Italian ship "Capo Noli"). The Norwegian Dagrun, Sama, San Andres, Meline, Morgenen, Belinda (with a notation saying "flags & 3", so it's hard to tell which station she had), Thorshøvdi, Sophocles (later left the convoy, as mentioned), Tigre, Hardanger, Leiv Eiriksson, and Laurits Swenson (it says Swenson only, but I assume it should be Laurits Swenson), all listed on this website - see alphabet menu below. The American Oneida and Northern Sword, the Dutch Maaskerk, Curacao and Bodegraven, the Swedish Blankaholm, the Greek Evros, and the Icelandic Edda Island (no pendant No. given). * It appears the Greek Evros did not sail, or returned to port - she's listed as sailing in SC 48 instead, and was in fact sunk while in that convoy - follow link for details. To the next HX convoy in my list HX 152 |
