* This was probably Albert L. Ellsworth (there was a Lincoln Ellsworth, but she was sunk in Apr.-1941).

* Fort St. James was initially in the slower Convoy SC 76 (departed on March 24-1942), but returned to Halifax.

Arabian Prince is also listed as being in the previous Convoy, HX 181 which left Halifax on March 21. She could not have completed a voyage in both convoys.

The ships departed Halifax in the following sequence:
The first ship to leave at 11:00 was the British tanker Delphinula, then 11 minutes later the British freighter Nicoya went out and with a few minutes between each vessel these ships departed:

At 11:16 Tyndareus, followed by Empire Sapphire (camouflaged), Boston City, F. J. Wolfe, Empire Silver, Norman Prince, Empire Pictou, Inverilen, Pan Aruba, Hamlet, Laurits Swenson (with the notation: "Airplane crates, stack has a long curved top with long openings all around it, stack is small"), Lise, Empire Druid, Taron, Herbrand, Ocean Vesper (2 bombers on deck), Belinda, Bic Island, Kaaparen, Vaalaren, Daltonhall (Catapult freighter - notation says: "Minus her Hurricane. The catapult freighters all return again and go out with their Hurricanes"), Davila, Albert L. Ellsworth(?), Rapana, Fluor Spar, Arabian Prince, British Harmoney, Fanad Head (hand on shield on stack), Comanchee, Kaipaki, Fort St. James, Cape Breton. The last vessel to go out at 2:00 was the Panamanian Norvinn (Norwegian manager and therefore listed on this website on the N page).
