Misc. Convoy Voyages:

Heimgar, bound for Glasgow with flour, is listed among the ships in the slow Halifax-U.K. Convoy SC 73 in March-1942, and in June that year we find her in Convoy SC 86, cargo of steel and pulp.

In Febr./March-1943 she sailed in the westbound North Atlantic Convoy ON 169 (Liverpool-New York) and that summer she was in Convoy SC 134, which departed Halifax for the U.K. on June 16-1943 - cargo of sugar and mail for Liverpool. She was scheduled for Convoy SC 145 in Oct. that year, but cancelled, and does not show up again until Convoy SC 149 on Dec. 15, carrying sugar and asphalt for London.

Early in June-1944 she's listed, with a general cargo for London, in the New York-U.K. Convoy HX 294, and in Oct.-1944 she shows up in the slow Convoy SC 158. This convoy originated in Halifax on Oct. 4 but Heimgar joined with the Sydney, C.B. portion a few days later, gargo of grain for Ipswich. In the middle of Dec.-1944 she's listed in Convoy SC 163 from Halifax, cargo of grain for Swansea.
