List of Passengers
This page is a full-text transcript of the Passenger List for Caronia's West Indies & South America Cruise departing from New York on 23 December 1952. It is constructed by combining information from the list published by Cunard and the Manifests provided to U.S. Immigration.
Important Notes
- Amalgamating the two lists has provided an opportunity to have more complete information and means a more reliable source about who travelled
- 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
- Names found within brackets are those amendments found in the Immigration List
- There are 18 additional passenger names, indicated with a ¶ suffix, found in the Immigration List but not in the Cunard one
- The poor quality of some pages has made some names unreadable
- There is a Queried Records List at the bottom of the page
