Follow the convoy links provided for more information on each.

I believe this record has quite a few errors. This also means, that although she's listed in them, she may not have sailed in all the convoys mentioned here. Also, several voyages are missing.

Misc. Convoy Voyages:

Gaston Micard, bound for Middlesbrough, is listed in Convoy HN 6 from Norway to the U.K. in Dec.-1939/Jan.-1940. As will be seen when following the link, several Norwegian ships took part.

In Febr.-1940, she shows up in Convoy OA 92, bound for Nantes. This convoy left Southend on Febr. 15 and dispersed on the 18th. That summer she's listed, together with the Norwegian Borgholm, Glarona, Inger, Loke (returned), Lotos, and Reiaas, in Convoy OB 188, originating in Liverpool on July 23-1940, dispersed on the 27th, Gaston Micard arriving Campbellton, N.B. on Aug. 9. See also Page 1 of the archive documents.

She was scheduled for the slow Sydney (C.B.)-U.K. Convoy SC 9 on Oct. 24-1940, but instead joined the next convoy on Oct. 29, SC 10, cargo of lumber for Lowestoft, where she eventually arrived, via misc. other ports, on Nov. 30 (according to the archive document mentioned above). Svein Jarl and Spes were also in company.

She was otherwise mostly in service around the coast of U.K./British Channel.

Gaston Micard was one of the many Norwegian ships carrying supplies for the Normandy invasion, arriving with cargo on June 12-1944 and leaving again on the 16th.

According to Page 20 of the archive documents, she went home to Norwary in the spring of 1946.
