Re: S S Macbeth (IDA ZO-Italtian)
There are on the web several accounts of what convoy PQ18 encountered en route to Moscow. It appears that the MacBeth's survivors were first taken on board MMS (motor minesweeper) 90 and later transferred to HMS Copeland, which looks to have been a heavier minesweeper designated as a rescue ship. Further search will surely turn up more detail. These convoys have been widely written about.
