WS (Winstons Specials) Convoys in WW2 (original) (raw)

INDEX OF MERCHANT SHIPS

The following index includes all merchant ships which participated in the WS convoy series, with name, nationality if not British, and troop carrying capacity where assessed (*), in the first column (see below for further explanations). Gross registered tonnage followed by the year of build, expressed as the last two digits of the year, is in the second.

Note that in several instances, vessels that were formerly, and also post war, of Danish or French nationality are shown as being on the British Register. For legal reasons, such vessels were so transferred on joining the British cause in 1940 (or being seized at later dates) ownership being vested in the Ministry of Shipping, later War Transport and the ships managed by British shipping companies. Vessels which survived reverted to their pre‑war Registry and ownership post 1945.

Only the first appearance of a ship in a convoy is listed i.e if a ship commences a passage in WS 6A then subsequent changes of designation eg WS 6 are not listed as the text makes the change clear. This particularly applies where a ship transfers from the main convoy to an A or B section in the Indian Ocean. This restriction is to prevent the index becoming too unwieldy.

Where no nationality is shown "British" is to be assumed. Note that during the war years, and prior to 1939, the "British" Registry included ships actually registered in the Dominions and India; separate Registers for the Dominions were not created until the late 1940s.

The tonnage shown is that recorded in the 1939 Register for pre-war vessels, or the first Register in which the ship appears for war built ships.

Where troop carrying capacity is relevant, and known, this figure is identified by an asterisk (*). Some of the figures are suspect, STRATHMORE for example has a very low capacity that probably reflects an early assessment that has not been amended in the surviving records. It must also be noted that maximum capacities were often exceeded by using open deck berthing or other expedients.

When the "twin" WS/KMF convoys commenced, with WS 26, the ships of BOTH convoys appear in the index with the relevant WS number noted.
