You're all very welcome! I found the pic just as interesting also, not just for the arrangement of the cargo, but how varied it was. Rather than being all armour or softskins, or just kit it was quite a mix. Which makes sense when you think about it...if the ship is lost, then you've not lost a substantial quantity of one type of kit. If the ship makes it through, then, you have a little of everything you need.
Paul's comments are especially appreciated. Canadian Merchantmen fought long and hard to get recognition from the Canadian government for the extremely dangerous job they did during the war.
