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 08 August 1956. 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
- Both place of embarkation and U.S. destination are shown in this list
- 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.
