Built by Murdoch & Murray Ltd., Port Glasgow in 1917. Previous names: Grangetown until 1921, Grangewood until 1936.
According to the external website that I've linked to above, she was delivered in Apr.-1917 as Grangetown to Town Line Ltd. (Harrison Sons & Co.), London. From 1921, sailed as Grangewood for E.T. Lindlet, London. Owned from 1924 by The Swanston S.S. Co. Ltd. (W. Swanston & Sons), Newcastle, same name. Sold in May-1936 to A/S D/S Altair (Henrik Østervold), Bergen and renamed Libra. In Sept.-1937, owners became D/S Neptun A/S (Henrik Østervold), Bergen.

Some Convoy Voyages:

For information on voyages made in between those discussed here, please see the documents received from the National Archives of Norway and Hague's Voyage Record above. Follow the convoy links provided for more details on them - other Norwegian ships also took part.

According to A. Hague, Libra was in Convoy HN 8 from Norway to the U.K. in Jan.-1940. The following month she's listed, together with the Norwegian Gaston Micard, in the original document for Convoy OA 92, which left Southend on Febr. 15 and dispersed on the 18th; her destination is given as Lorient, station 34 (note that Arnold Hague has not included her in his listing for OA 92 - external link). She was also at Lorient when war broke out in Norway on Apr. 9, having arrived there from Leith on Apr. 7 - see Page 1 of the archive documents. It'll also be noticed that she later made 3 more voyages to France.

Together with the Norwegian Dagrun, she's listed in Convoy OA 206, which left Methil on Aug. 29-1940, but Libra was only bound for Clyde on that occasion, arriving there on Sept. 1 - see the external link provided within the Voyage Record. A few days later she's included among the ships in Convoy OG 42, originating in Liverpool on Sept. 4, arriving Gibraltar on the 16th; Libra arrived Lisbon that day, having started out from Clyde on the 4th. This convoy will be added to an individual page in my Convoys section in due course, but in the meantime, the ships sailing in it are named on my page listing ships in all OG convoys. The Norwegian Ask, Avance I, Fagerbro, Kongshaug, Ophir and Roy are also listed, and all of them also show up in the returning Convoy HG 45 on Oct. 9. Libra, carrying a cargo of pit props, was bound for Blyth, with arrival Nov. 7 - again, see Page 1.

Libra was in convoy FS 421 (external link, incomplete listing), and was attacked by aircraft off Harwich on Febr. 27-1941. This convoy departed Methil on Febr. 24 and arrived Southend on the 26th; Libra had started out from Blyth on Febr. 25. She's reported to have been damaged, presumably by a bomb which fell in the sea close by. Her voyages in this period are shown on Page 2.

That fall we find her in station 86 of the westbound North Atlantic Convoy ON 10, which left Liverpool on Aug. 27-1941 and dispersed on Sept. 11. Libra, being bound for Reykjavik, had already left the convoy by then (she arrived Reykjavik on Sept. 2). According to Arnold Hague, she returned to the U.K. with the slow, eastbound North Atlantic Convoy SC 45, which had originated in Sydney, C.B. on Sept. 18 and arrived Liverpool on Oct. 4, but Libra joined this convoy from Iceland on Sept. 30 and arrived Kirkwall on Oct. 2 (Page 4). The Norwegian Bjerka, Nea, Orania, Rio Verde, Snar, Solhavn, Trolla and Varanger are also included. This convoy will also be added to an individual page in my Convoys section, but for now, please see ships in all SC convoys.

Libra was otherwise mostly in service around the U.K.

She got to go home to Norway already in July-1945, making several more voyages home in the course of the year - see Page 19 and Page 20.

More details on all the other Norwegian ships named here can be found with the help of the alphabet index at the end of this page, or go to the Master Ship Index.
