21 January 1955
Crew List Transcript
Introduction
This page lists all of the jobs carried out by the crew of the “Green Goddess” on her 1955 Great World Cruise from New York. For the following Spring Mediterranean Cruise, 42 crew signed-on in New York and 38 signed-off. 36 of them are annotated in the list below. Unfortunately, the crew sign-on list is not sufficiently legible to transcribe.
Although this list is shown as a manifest, it is not intended that it give full details of each crew member, like Age, Nationality, Service at Sea etc. The list is ordered according to Articles Number with series letter prefix.
