The Catalogue

The inward passenger lists are in series BT 26Links to the Catalogue

It is now possible to search online using the Catalogue if you have the name of a ship for the years 1910-1960. Earlier years will eventually be searchable online - this is part of ongoing service enhancements.

Searches can also include ship’s name, owner, ports of transit and disembarkation, and year of disembarkation. Ideally, you should know the date and port of arrival to search the records for a ship’s passenger list. If you don’t have these details, it may still be possible to find relevant records, but it may take you longer.

There are no name indexes.
