* Note that according to the records of someone who was on board Sandar at the time, she joined Convoy OS 3 for this voyage to Curacao. See my page about Sandar, as well as this external link about the OS convoys, where she's indeed listed in Convoy OS 3 (leaving Liverpool on Aug. 13-1941).

* See ON 4.
** Chulmleigh lay at Reykjavik until Sept. 28-1941, then joined Convoy ON 19A from there.
