Follow the convoy links provided for more information on each.

Errors may exist (this could also possibly mean that she may not have sailed in all the convoys mentioned here). Also, as can be seen, her 1940, 1941 and 1942 voyages are not included. Other voyages are also missing from the record.

Notes:

As can be seen when going to Page 1 of the archive documents, Prosper was on her way from Hong Kong to Saigon when war broke out in Norway on Apr. 9-1940. Her arrival Saigon is not given, but she was back in Hong Kong again on Apr. 12.

It'll be noticed, when going to the various archive documents, that she sometimes had long stays in port (Bombay, Durban, New York).

POST WAR:

Sold in Jan.-1959 to Nogow Hock Co. Ltd., Bangkok, broken up in 1960 (1968?).
