Library volunteers compiled a listing of
368 passenger lists from the Steamship Ephemera
Collection (MS15). The passenger lists relate
to 58 steamship lines and date from 1878
to 1988. The listing is organized alphabetically
by steamship name, and includes voyage date,
port of departure, ports of entry, and catalog
number. View the listing of Passenger
Lists and visit the Library to
