UG convoys information


An aerial photo of one of the earliest UG convoys taken in November 1942.

The UG convoys were a series of east-bound trans-Atlantic convoys from the United States to Gibraltar carrying food, ammunition, and military hardware to the United States Army in North Africa and southern Europe during World War II. These convoys assembled in Hampton Roads near the mouth of Chesapeake Bay and terminated in various North African locations as Axis forces retreated from 1942 through 1945.[1]

Paul Hamilton was one of many Liberty Ships supplying the United States Army via the southern trans-Atlantic route. This ship was destroyed by an aerial torpedo while carrying ammunition in convoy UGS 38.
