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 15 September 1953. It is constructed by combining information from the list published by Cunard and the Manifests provided to U.S. Immigration.

First PaxList

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
  • Amalgamation also means that this list gives place of embarkation and U.S. destination
  • Immigration manifests provide reliable information about who actually travelled
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.
