List of Passengers
This page is a full-text transcript of the Passenger List for Caronia's first Round the World Cruise from New York on 06 January 1951 ending at Southampton on 19 April 1951. It is constructed from Cunard's published list issued to passengers with amendments gleaned from the Manifest lodged with British Immigration at Southampton.
For cruises, Caronia's Passenger Lists were handbooks providing advice and answering a number of frequently asked questions. Instead of repeating this within every transcript, its content forms the start page of the 1951 Virtual Great World Cruise.
Notes:
- Apart from the Cruise Director who is listed as Crew, other Cruise Staff are shown as passengers within this list. Not all of Caronia's Cruise passenger lists were prepared in this way
- British Immigration lists show that passengers embarked on this cruise at several ports other than New York
- Passengers annotated with a single ¶ suffix disembarked from Caronia at Southampton
- Passengers with a ¶¶ suffix also disembarked at Southampton and carry a link to an extra note shown in the Addendum
- 136 passengers disembarked at Southampton
Accuracy
Because no Errata List was preserved with the original document, the listing below should not be read as being definitive! No guarantee of accuracy can be given with regard to marital status or indeed spelling of names. Any proven corrections will be welcomed. Names added in brackets will have come from other sources, including the British manifest.
