Notes:
The following ships were also scheduled for this convoy, but did not sail:
Caledonia - Norwegian tanker, for Clyde (also cancelled from previous convoy).
Californian - steel, scrap iron, general, motor boats, for Glasgow. Sailed in BHX 68.
Corbis - tanker, for Clyde (see HX 69)
Diplomat - steel, general, explosives, for Liverpool. Sailed in BHX 68.
Industria - lead, lumber for Belfast, had already sailed in HX 66.
Pagasitikos - scrap iron, for Belfast f. o.
President de Vogue - Norwegian tanker, for Clyde (also cancelled from previous convoy).

Chesapeake was also cancelled from the next convoy - see also HX 60.

Titus had been cancelled from the previous convoy, HX 66 (Bermuda section). It's also possible that several of the other ships that were cancelled from the Halifax portion of that convoy later joined HX 67 in Halifax. Folllow the link for their names.

Additionally, according to notes for Convoy SC 2, Lanark , Baron Cawdor and Auretta in that convoy came from HX 67.

Escorts: HMS Emerald (which also acted as Commodore vessel, sailing between columns 4 and 5)
