List of Passengers
This page is a full-text extract of the Passenger List for Caronia's West Indies & South America Cruise from New York on 14 June 1952. It is constructed from an amalgamation of Cunard's published list issued to passengers and New York US Immigration records.
Important Notes
- Combining two lists has provided an opportunity of more complete information
- As with crew lists, not all the information, such as age or place of birth, has been transcribed
- In the Cunard list, wives travelling with their husbands don't have their actual forename(s) included, so these have been added
- There were 639 names printed in the Cunard List, of whom it appears 7 did not embark
- There are 14 additional passenger names, indicated with a ¶ prefix, found in the Immigration List but not in the Cunard one
- Names placed within brackets show differences appended from the Immigration List
- Amalgamation also means that this list shows a U.S. destination
- Titles and decorations, missing from the Immigration Lists, are added from the Cunard list
- Immigration manifests provide reliable information about who actually travelled
- An Errata List is at the bottom of this page
