Hi John
Certainly it was not OG-59 as this convoy already sailed on 15 April 1941. The survivors report of VULCAIN identifies the convoy as unknown OG convoy that sailed from the Clyde on 1 May and was dispersed on 5 May. However, there was no such OG convoy and the sailing/dispersed dates correspond with OB-317, which confirms the data available on convoyweb.
Seems I made a mistake when entering OB-318 instead of OB-317 in our database. I will correct this as soon as possible.
Best regards
