Notes: The Rescue Vessel Zaafaran was on her 9th voyage as such, having started this voyage from Clyde on Sept. 14-1941, detached from ON 16 on Sept. 20, then returned to Clyde with Convoy HX 149, Sept. 20-Sept. 25. Erna III, on a voyage from Swansea (left Sept. 11) and Milford Haven (left Sept. 12) for Montreal in ballast, became a straggler - last reported about Sept. 21 in heavy weather. Believed torpedoed and sunk by U-562 on Sept. 22-1941. She had a crew of 25 and 2 gunners, all of whom were lost. ("Lloyd's War Losses", Vol. II and R.W. Jordan suggest sinking date was Sept. 25). Escorts (also received from Don Kindell, whose own work, covering "Royal & other Navies Day-by-Day in World War 2" can be viewed at this website): Related external links: All the Norwegian ships in this convoy are included on this website.
