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 23 June 1954. It is constructed from original New York Immigration records.

Important Notes
  • 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
  • However, unlike the Cunard lists published for passengers, this list does give place of embarkation, forenames and U.S. destination
  • One passenger passed away on 25 June 1954
  • Immigration manifests provide reliable information about who actually travelled
  • An addendum of those who Did Not Embark
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.

Mr. Stanley Field was a key merchant, banker, civic leader and builder. His father moved to England from Chicago as a buyer for his brother's business, Marshall Field & Co., in 1871. Stanley was born in Manchester, England in 1875 and moved to Chicago in 1893.

For 70 years of his life he had been an employee and company director. He'd been a key lead in civic projects like Chicago's Grant Park and the John G. Shedd Aquarium. For 58 years he'd also headed the Chicago Natural History Museum (1943-66), built by him in 1921 as the Field Museum of Natural History (1905-1943 & 1966 to date).

He died at his home on Wednesday 28 October 1964, aged 89.
