Notes: * There was also a Norwegian ship named Alaska. The French Alaska collided with the British Dotterel on Nov. 15-1939 and sank southeast of Owers Light Vessel. There were no survivors. (R. W. Jordan - "The World's Merchant Fleets 1939"). There was also a Norwegian and an American Atlantic. F. J. Wolfe came under British flag, but I'm not sure exactly when. Commodore was in Cornish City, Vice Commodore in Comedian and Rear Commodore is listed as being in Pacific Enterprise* - however, that ship is crossed out on the convoy form (previously cancelled from the fast Convoy HXF 6). ** There's a notation next to Penelope saying she turned back on the first night. The reason for my questions marks in the 6th row is that the form says destination was Hav. which could of course also mean Milford Haven(?) The Agnita in station 52 was a Dutch vessel, transferred to Anglo Saxon Petr. Co. Ltd. in 1939. Ocean Escort: HMS Resolution. |
