3. Anton Dreher (May 7, 1810 - December 27, 1863) was an Austrian brewer who was an essential figure in the development of pale lager. In 1840, he introduced a beer that combined the crispness of lager with the paler hues of the English ale; this new style of beer became known as the Viennese style and was called Schwechater Lagerbier.
4. Edna Fischel Gellhorn (December 18, 1878 – September 24, 1970) was an American suffragist and reformer, born in St. Louis. She attended the Mary Institute and Bryn Mawr College, and was the student president at each, as well as an elected trustee of Bryn Mawr. She graduated from Bryn Mawr in 1900. She was an officer in the St. Louis and Missouri State Equal Suffrage Leagues from 1910 until the Nineteenth Amendment was passed in 1919.
5. Isaac Goldberg (1887-July 14, 1938) was an American journalist, author, critic, translator, editor, publisher, and lecturer. Born in Boston, he studied at Harvard University and received a BA degree in 1910, an MA degree in 1911, and a Ph.D. in 1912. He traveled to Europe as a journalist during World War I, writing for the Boston Evening Transcript. He wrote biographies, and books on theatrical and musical appreciation, and contributed articles for many magazines. He also founded, published, and edited a monthly news magazine called Panorama.
6. John Adam Kasson (January 11, 1822 – May 18, 1910) was a nineteenth-century lawyer, politician and diplomat from south-central Iowa. Elected to the U.S. House six times, he repeatedly interrupted his congressional service to serve in the Diplomatic service in many different capacities.
7. Karl Kiefer (1871-1957) German Artist.
8. John Muir (April 21, 1838 – December 24, 1914) was a Scottish-American naturalist, author, and early advocate of the preservation of wilderness in the United States. His letters, essays, and books telling of his adventures in nature, especially in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, have been read by millions. His activism helped to preserve the Yosemite Valley, Sequoia National Park, and other wilderness areas. The Sierra Club, which he founded, is a prominent American conservation organization. The 211-mile (340 km) John Muir Trail, a hiking trail in the Sierra Nevada, was named in his honor. Other such places include Muir Woods National Monument, Muir Beach, John Muir College, Mount Muir, Camp Muir, and Muir Glacier.
9. Sir Edward Howard Marsh KCVO CB CMG (18 November 1872 – 13 January 1953) was a British polymath, translator, arts patron and civil servant. In his career as a civil servant, he worked as Private Secretary to a succession of Great Britain's most powerful ministers, particularly Winston Churchill. He was a discreet but influential figure within Britain's homosexual community.
10. Joseph Medill McCormick, known as Medill (May 16, 1877 – February 25, 1925), was part of the McCormick family of businessmen and politicians in Chicago. After working for some time and becoming part owner of the Chicago Tribune, which his maternal grandfather had owned, he entered politics. After serving in the State House, he was elected both as a Representative in the United States Congress and later as a US Senator from Illinois. He committed suicide at age 48, a few months after losing his bid for renomination to a second term in the Senate.

FAO Schwarz was founded in 1862 under "Toy Bazaar" by German immigrant Frederick August Otto Schwarz in Baltimore, where he and his brothers retailed toys from a fancy-goods store. Additional locations of "Toy Bazaar" followed in Philadelphia and Boston.
14. Anton Seidl (7 May 1850 – 28 March 1898) was a Hungarian orchestra conductor.

Charles Steinway was the eldest son of Henry Englehardt Steinway, the founder of the well-known house of Steinway & Sons, New York, and was born in 1825 at Seesen, near the Hart/ Mountains. He started business on his account in Brunswick about 1850, and in 1865 he joined his father and brothers in New York. He was a most gifted inventor, and many improvements in the construction of the pianoforte are due to him. He was elected a Member of the Royal Academies of Paris, Berlin, and Stockholm and the Paris Society of Fine Arts.
16. Dr. Walter August Ver Wiebe (1887-1961) Professor of geology, University of Wichita), prolific writer on a great variety of gelogical topics.

18. Baron Rothschild, of Tring in the County of Hertford, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1885 for Sir Nathan Rothschild, 2nd Baronet, a member of the Rothschild banking family. He was the first person of the Jewish faith to be raised to the peerage. (Benjamin Disraeli, though born into a Jewish family, was a member of the Church of England.) It is not known whether Nathan Mayer Rothschild, 1st Baron Rothschild (1840–1915) or Lionel Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild (1868–1937) was the passenger on this voyage.
