List of Passengers
This page is a full-text transcript of the Passenger List for Caronia's Great World Cruise from New York 21 January 1955. It is constructed from an amalgamation of Cunard's published list issued to passengers and New York US Immigration records.
Important Notes
- The Immigration manifest has provided small corrections, like the addition of first names for wives omitted from the published list
- It has also separated those passengers disembarking at New York from those leaving in Long Beach
- Only 415 passengers travelled all the way back to New York
- Among those listed as disembarking at Long Beach could be passengers who booked their passage at short notice, after the Cunard list was published
For cruises, Caronia's Passenger Lists were handbooks providing advice and answering a number of frequently asked questions. Instead of repeating this within every transcript, its content forms the start page of the 1951 Virtual Great World Cruise.
Accuracy
As no Long Beach US Immigration Records are to hand, the list below should not be regarded as being definitive. No guarantee of accuracy can be given with regard to marital status or indeed spelling of names. Any proven corrections will be welcomed.
