Notes:
* These 3 ships are also listed in the previous convoy, HX 197.

* These ships did indeed leave port on July 12, but not to join Convoy HX 198; they are all listed in Convoy HJ 8 from Halifax to St. John's (external link - Belle Isle is listed as American here).

The ships went out in the following order:
At 12:49 Potter went out "to join the convoy at sea", then at 14:48 Tortuguero went out, followed at 14:50 by Henry R. Mallory (WHCF), and with a few minutes between each ship, Fort Louisburg, Cape Breton, Southern Princess, F. J. Luckenbach, Belinda, Solarium, Emile Francqui, St. Bertrand, Sevilla, Turrialba, Gerassimos Vergottis, Alcoa Mariner, Franche Comté, Empire Marlowe, Hercules, Belle Isle, Pan Carolina, Havmøy, Pan New York, Empire Cameron, Belomorcanal, Waterland, Biscaya, Fort Amherst, Ocean Voyager, and the last to go at 16:10 was Zacapa (KDCI).
