Thanks Bill - so this would at least confirm that some of the vessels were indeed going to West Africa. Any mention anywhere at all in your sources on the date those ships left the convoy?



If you look under Norse King

[www.warsailors.com]

on my ships list you'll find a couple of good links to a more detailed description of the battle, as well as the names of sailors lost on the various ships (you may have seen Barbara & Gordon's website already). One of these days I'll have to rearrange my anchor links on this page, so that you all don't have to scroll so much - it has gotten too long for the present set-up. Somehow, my days aren't long enough to get everything that needs to be done accomplished. And no, I'm not usually up at the crack of dawn, like I am today. It's still dark outside, and a very cold Oklahoma morning indeed.
