Also go to warsailors.com....that website has ship names and you can often determine ship type (cargo, tanker, and so on).
IIRC, most average Atlantic convoys would have had from 20-45 ships. The largest ones (late in the war) would have had up to 120 ships, give or take. These huge convoys would probably have been divided into sub-sections separated by a few miles, so you would not have seen 120 ships sailing together.
