List of Passengers

This page is an incomplete transcript of the Passenger List for Caronia's 1953 North Cape Cruise starting from New York on 29 June 1953. It's transcribed from British Immigration records listing only those who completed their cruise in Southampton. However, some pages are missing or incomplete.

Unlike information transcribed from published lists, only passenger names are recorded here. Should a published list come to hand, this list will be conventionally formatted and indicate those who disembarked at Southampton.

Notes

• While it's easier to place married couples together from this Manifest, it's possible that some females are wrongly listed as “Miss” instead of “Mrs.”
• Passengers whose names were crossed-through have been noted below but not counted
• It's clear that not all the Cruise Staff have been identified from the manifest
• The return fare to the USA would have been part of this cruise

What's Your Story?

If you, a relative or ancestor, travelled on this voyage and you have a story to tell, I'd be delighted to hear from you!
