Some War Voyages:

(More will be added).

Toulouse is listed among the ships in Convoy HX 82 in Oct.-1940. Follow the link for more details on this convoy.

According to the external website that I've linked to at the end of this text, she was in Convoy SL 153/MKS 44 in Apr.-1944, voyage from Port Sudan and Suez to Mersey with cotton, diesel oil and vehicles, joining from Gibraltar with the MKS portion together with the Norwegian Boreas. MKS 44 will also be added to my own site, in the meantime, the ships sailing in it are named in the section listing ships in all MKS convoys.

POST WAR:

Sold to Oleada Cia. Naviera (Michail A. Karageorgis, manager), Greece on Oct. 28-1959 and renamed Michalakis. Fire broke out on March 26-1962 in No. 1 hold when she was about 8 miles north of San Juan, P.R. during a voyage from Callao (just outside Lima, Peru) to Hull with a cargo of fishmeal in paper bags. Put in at San Juan on March 27 and fire extinguished on the 31st. Damage was beyond economical repair and she was abandoned on July 30-1962 to insurance underwriters as a constructive total loss. Sold for demolition on Aug. 24-1962 to Buques y Materiales S.A. Arrived at Bilbao on Aug. 26 to be broken up.
