Notes: Frances Dawson is said to have been on fire in Halifax on March 8-1941 (2 days before Convoy SC 25 left), becoming a total constructive loss. However, she was taken over by MOWT 1941 and renamed Empire Tyne - see the website about the Empire Ships that I've linked to below. Koranton, on a voyage from Philadelphia (Sept. 8-1940?) for Hull with 8769 tons of pig iron, became a straggler and was torpedoed and sunk by U-98 on March 27. She had a crew of 34 and 2 gunners, all of whom perished. Note that all the Norwegian ships sailing in this convoy are further discussed on this website - use the alphabet index provided at the end of this page to find more details on them. Related external links: The Empire Ships - Provides more information on all the Empire Ships listed in this convoy, including Frances Dawson / Empire Tyne, which can be found at the end of this page.
