<HTML>I'm doing a research on a cargo vessell SS Carperby. On her last voyage she
>was sunk by uboat 588 on 1st of march 1942 in the western atlantic. Her
>destination, St Thomas and then on to Argentina. Her route was Tyneside docks
>where was loaded with a cargo of coal and coke. Lloyds shipping list say her
>last departure point was Oban in Scotland and travelled on as an independant.
>According to her shipping log she called into Oban to undergo repairs and
>then left on the 14th of Feb 1942. I believe she sailed part way on an
>escorted convoy routing from Loch Ewe to Halifax, and then onwards to St
>Thomas as an independant. My question is: was there a convoy leaving Loch Ewe
>around the 14th of Feb 1942?I do hope you can help me in this instance as
>this information is of vital importance to my partner who's brother was
>killed by enemy action on that voyage.
