List of Passengers
This page is a full-text transcript of the Passenger List for Caronia's North Cape Cruise from New York on Friday, 01 July 1955, ending in Southampton on Tuesday, 02 August 1955. It is constructed from an amalgamation of Cunard's published list issued to passengers and British Immigration records.
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.
Notes
- Passengers assumed to have disembarked at Le Havre could have left the ship earlier. For example it was not unknown for disembarkations to occur at Oban, ready to start an extended tour of Scotland
- Many first-names, mostly of wives, have been added
- Names in brackets are additions to the names from the published list
- Mrs. Anne Scavnicky only appears on the UK Immigration List, could she have been Mrs. Vanderbilt's Maid?
- Mr. Sten Wrede embarked at Oslo, disembarking at So'ton
Many passengers who chose to return to New York aboard the “Green Goddess” after this cruise are listed within the passenger list for her next transatlantic crossing below. Transcription of that list has added much new information to this page.
Accuracy
The transcript is incomplete in that the last page listing names such as Miss Lorna Yost has been torn out. Because of this, no definite number of passengers carried on this cruise can be established from my existing sources. Also, no guarantee of accuracy can be given with regard to marital status or indeed spelling of names. Any proven corrections will be welcomed.
