Notes: Commodore was in Balmoralwood, Vice Commodore in Seminole, Rear Commodore in Sulairia (Glasgow), and Dakotian (Bristol Channel). * Victor Ross became British at some point in 1940, but I'm not sure exactly when. Her nationality is given as British when she was torpedoed and sunk by U-43 on Dec. 2-1940, Convoy OB 251. Kingswood's destination is initially given as Liverpool, then London is written in parenthesis. Similarly, for Seminole, whose destination is given as London, with Hull in Parenthesis, and Gold Shell=Falmouth, parenthesis London, and Somersby=Falmouth, parenthesis illegible, Ena de Larrinaga=Falmouth, parenthesis Liverpool, Nailsea River=Avonmouth, parenthesis London, Danby=London, parenthesis Hull, Agia Marina=Barry, parenthesis London.
