Notes: *There's a Norwegian Marcot listed in station 13, but there was no ship by that name. I have no way of knowing which ship this could be; Marga? Marit? The first ship to leave was Hektoria at 07:15, and with a few minutes between each ship, the last to depart was the escorting HMS California, leaving Pier 22 at 2 (I assume this means 14:00). I've listed the vessels according to nationality below, keeping the sequence of departure within each nationality. |
