SL convoys

RMS Edinburgh Castle served as assembly headquarters for the SL convoys. She was not worth the cost of towing back to England, and was sunk as a target off Freetown in 1945.

SL convoys were a numbered series of North Atlantic trade convoys during the Second World War. Merchant ships carrying commodities bound to the British Isles from South America, Africa, and the Indian Ocean traveled independently to Freetown, Sierra Leone to be convoyed for the last leg of their voyage to Liverpool.
