List of Passengers
This page is a combined First and Cabin Class full-text transcript of the Passenger List for Caronia's Westbound transatlantic crossing from Liverpool on 02 January 1957.
With 15 days duration and calls to ports in The Bahamas, this positioning crossing was known as the “Sterling Cruise”, so-called because it was the only Caronia cruise that could optionally be paid for in Pounds Sterling. Of course, the ship would have sailed from Liverpool with many more passengers than are listed here. This transcript only shows those who travelled through to New York.
The sailing was delayed because of an accident on a sandbank at Crosby following a short sea trial after Caronia's Annual Overhaul. The ship sailed directly from Liverpool, omitting a call to Le Havre, and headed to Bermuda as the first port of call.
Important Notes
- The list has been reconstructed from original New York Immigration records
- As with crew lists assembled from this source, not all the information, such as age or place of birth, has been transcribed
- Because no titles or decorations were recorded at source, only Mr., Mrs., Miss or Mstr. could be used here
- With no marital status being shown, annotations of title for women travelling alone may be incorrect
- Both place of embarkation and U.S. destination are shown in this list
- Immigration manifests provide reliable information about who actually travelled
- Passengers annotated with a ¶ prefix travelled Cabin Class
- Disembarkation entries are only those passengers which appear as deleted entries on pages intended for U.S. Immigration
Accuracy
No guarantee of accuracy can be given with regard to marital status or indeed spelling of names. In some cases the original documents are very difficult to accurately read, even under magnification. Any proven corrections will be gladly accepted.
