CONVOY HX 144
|
Departed Halifax on Aug. 10-1941 and arrived Liverpool on the 30th (Arnold Hague says 60 ships). This does not mean that all the ships arrived that port on that date; some ships had other destinations. |

| List received from Ted Agar, England. The stations given in the majority of the convoy forms from Ted are the intitial convoy stations on departure; these may have changed as the voyage progressed. Please note that not all the ships have been given a convoy station, but more ships are named at the end of this table. However, my information appears to be incomplete - please see this external page for more names. For info, some of the ships in this convoy later returned to the U.S. with the westbound Convoy ON 15. Br=British, Fr=French, Norw=Norwegian, Yu=Yugoslavian, Pa=Panamanian. |

In the convoy lists received from T. Agar the ships appear to be listed according to the time they departed. The first ship to leave in this case was Corner Brook at 11:00, and with a few minutes between each ship, ending with Sommerstad at 3:20, I assume this means 15:20. The escorting HMS Maloja left Pier 23 at 2:55. Adding the latter, the names of 48 ships are given here. I've listed them according to nationality below, keeping the sequence of departure within each nationality. Complete list of ships according to nationality: The Norwegian Suderøy, Polartank, Orwell, Hallanger, Eidanger, Havprins, Grena, Evanger, Norse King, Vinland (bombers) and Sommerstad, all listed on this website under their respective letters of the alphabet (see alphabet at the bottom of this page). The Yugoslavian Marija Petrinovic, the Swedish Kolsnaren and Magne, the Panamanian Chepo, and the French Roxane. No ships are listed as sunk. Arnold Hague ("Convoy Rescue Ships 1940-1945") says the Rescue Ship Zamalek was with this convoy from Aug. 22 till detached to Iceland Aug. 27, then with HX 146 to Clyde, Sept. 1-Sept. 6-1941. She had started out with Convoy ON 7 from Clyde until detached, Aug. 16-Aug. 21, and was on her 10th voyage as Rescue Vessel (having been requisitioned as such in March.-1940, her first voyage was with OB 291). To the next HX convoy in my list HX 145 |
