This page is a full-text transcript of the Cabin Class Passenger List for Caronia's Westbound transatlantic crossing from Southampton and Le Havre on 22 June 1955. It is constructed by combining information from the list published by Cunard and the Manifests provided to U.S. Immigration.

Important Notes
  • As with crew lists assembled from this source, not all the information, such as age or place of birth, has been transcribed
  • names prefixed with do not appear in Cunrard's published list
  • With no marital status being shown, annotations of title for women travelling alone may be incorrect
  • Both place of embarkation and U.S. destination are shown in this list
  • Immigration manifests provide reliable information about who actually travelled
  • An Errata Page shows changes to the published list and includes 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.
