* Grainton came from the slow Convoy SC 85.

** Barrwhin also shows up in Convoy SC 86, joining from Newfoundland, so it looks like she did not sail to the U.K. with HX 192.


Notes:
J. E. Kinney was a Halifax trawler.

The ships left Halifax in the following order:
The first to leave at 14:17 was the Commodore Vessel Manchester Exporter, followed at 14:20 by Argos Hill (U.S. Army Trucks on deck), then with a few minutes between each ship, Audacious, Samuel Bakke (U.S. trucks on deck), Empire Ray (Catapult freighter, NJS on Hurricane), Fanad Head, Barrwhin (crates on deck), Sembilangan (U.S. trucks on deck), Grainton, Blankaholm, Empire Flamingo, Mount Kyllene, Dromore (4 speed boats and trucks), Fernmoor (lumber), Athelregent, Heranger (2 bombers on deck), Lookout, Vaalaren, Ganymedes, Norsol, Ettrickbank, Rio Novo, Almeria Lykes (KOTJ), J. E. Kinney, North King, Empire Marvell, Sophocles, Arabian Prince, and the last to go out at 15:44 was Empire Coral.
