List of Passengers
This page is a full-text transcript of the First Class Passenger List for Caronia's Westbound transatlantic crossing from Southampton and Le Havre on 25 April 1953. It is constructed by combining information from the list published by Cunard and the Manifests provided to U.S. Immigration.
Important Notes
- Combining the 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
- Immigration manifests provide reliable information about who actually travelled
- Passengers without a prefix embarked at Southampton
- Passengers with a dagger prefix † embarked at Le Havre
- Passengers annotated with a ∏ symbol are additions to the Cunard list
- One major difference on the manifest for this voyage was that no final destination was listed, where previously it was
- An Errata List is at the bottom of this page
