A convoy of nearly four dozen merchant ships protected by nearly 20 Royal Navy warships has sailed for the New World – running the gauntlet of more than 100 U-boats. Convoy ONS5 – Outbound North (Slow) 5 – mustered off the west coast of Scotland yesterday as groups of merchant ships from south Wales, Liverpool and Scotland joined forces. They are heading for ports in North and South America – most to pick up cargoes to bring back to the United Kingdom to support our war effort, some to deliver coal.
