OB-192 To Montreal

Alister's Second Voyage

After six days in Swansea the Dorelian sailed with Alister joining OB-192 to take her out on the way back to Montreal.

As before she joined ships out of Liverpool and it is interesting to note that they continued out into the Atlantic travelling to the South of Ireland. The U-boat threat from bases on the French coast had not yet forced the convoy routes north.

The Dorelean reached Montreal on 14th August and turned round quickly, leaving on 18th.
