List of Passengers
This page is a full-text transcript of the Passenger List for Caronia's Great World Cruise from New York on Friday 20 January 1956. It is constructed from an amalgamation of Cunard's published list issued to passengers and New York US Immigration records.
By this date, the amount of information recorded about each passenger in the US manifests is minimal, including lack of titles and marital status. The manifests do however provide given names for wives who travelled with their husbands where these are often missing in the published list.
Important Notes
- Passenger names prefixed with ¶ highlight anomalies twixt the two lists. Details will be found on the Addendum page
- Passenger names prefixed with § are shown in the published list, but do not appear in the U.S. Immigration Lists for New York. It's assumed that they disembarked Caronia at Long Beach
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.
Accuracy
As no Long Beach US Immigration Records are to hand, the list below should not be regarded 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.
