* It looks like Ville d'Anvers must have detached for Iceland - she's listed in Convoy PQ 1 for Archangel, which left Hvalfjord on Sept. 29-1941. She returned with QP 2 from Archangel on Nov. 3. Dan-y-Bryn later sailed to Archangel with Convoy PQ 4, leaving Hvalfjord on Nov. 17-1941. (See this external site).


Note:
The first ship to leave was Port Alma at 07:13, and with a few minutes between each ship, the last was the escorting HMS Ranpura some time after 16:00 that afternoon (appears to have departed over 3 hours after the last ship El Argentino had left at 12:43). Counting the escorting vessel, the names of 47 ships are given. I've listed the names according to nationality, keeping the sequence of departure within each nationality.

Complete list of ships according to nationality:
The British Port Alma, Prometheus, Refast, British Fusilier, Empire Faith, Umgeni (passengers), Lindenhall, Delius, Dorcasia, Coimbra, Norman Prince, San Amado, Daronia, San Fabian, Danybryn, Sicilian Prince, Cairnesk, Port Nicholson, Recorder, Trader, Nigaristan *, Hoperange, Tudor Star, Collegian, Sepia, Tudor Prince, Umtata (no pennant No. given), and El Argentino.

* This ship caught on fire on Sept. 24, sank - no casualties.

The Norwegian Heina, Fenris, Solfonn, Havkong, Garonne, Thorshavet, Topdalsfjord, Varanger (according to A. Hague, she returned to port) and Braganza - see alphabet index below.

The American Lake Osweya and Providence, the Icelandic Godafoss, the Belgian Ville d'Anvers, the Dutch Clavella, Jupiter, Blommersdijk, Phrontis (no pennant No. given), and Ocana.
