The Passenger Lists Speak For The Southern Route
Names prominent in the social and business world... in the circles of diplomacy... in the Almanach de Gotha... names that are news. These help to make an Italian Line sailing an event of brilliant importance!
Travelers of consequence are turning in numbers to the Southern Route... to sail on the world's fastest liner, the "Rex," holder of the Blue Ribbon of the Atlantic... or on the only gyro-stabilized liner afloat, the superb "Conte di Savoia"... or on the "Roma" or the "Augustus," the ships that first introduced Lido Decks... or on the noted Cosulich liners "Saturnia" and "Vulcania," with their celebrated deck-verandah suites and other luxuries.
No matter which vessel you choose, the Southern Route voyage is one you won't forget... over blue waters, under sunny, friendly skies, with a thousand miles or more of added cruising "east of Gibraltar," at no extra cost.

⚠️ About Accuracy in Historical Records Research Tip
Context. The GG Archives presents passenger lists as faithfully as possible to the original documents. While OCR is generally accurate, portions of these collections—especially image captions and some transcriptions—are typed by hand and may include typographical or spelling variations. The original manifests themselves also contained clerical inconsistencies (names recorded phonetically, mid-voyage corrections, etc.).
What this means for your research:
- Search variant spellings of names (e.g., “Schmidt/Schmitt/Smith,” “Giuseppe/Joseph”).
- Cross-reference with immigration cards, passport applications, naturalization files, city directories, and newspapers.
- Treat manifests as primary sources with historical quirks—use them alongside corroborating records.
- For place names, consider historical borders and language variants (e.g., Danzig/Gdańsk, Trieste/Trst).
How to cite. When quoting a name from a manifest, consider adding [sic] for obvious misspellings and include a note such as “spelling as printed in original passenger list.”

Curator’s Note
For over 25 years, I've been dedicated to a unique mission: tracking down, curating, preserving, scanning, and transcribing historical materials. These materials, carefully researched, organized, and enriched with context, live on here at the GG Archives. Each passenger list isn't just posted — it's a testament to our commitment to helping you see the people and stories behind the names.
It hasn't always been easy. In the early years, I wasn't sure the site would survive, and I often paid the hosting bills out of my own pocket. But I never built this site for the money — I built it because I love history and believe it's worth preserving. It's a labor of love that I've dedicated myself to, and I'm committed to keeping it going.
If you've found something here that helped your research, sparked a family story, or just made you smile, I'd love to hear about it. Your experiences and stories are the real reward for me. And if you'd like to help keep this labor of love going, there's a "Contribute to the Website" link tucked away on our About page.
📜 History is worth keeping. Thanks for visiting and keeping it alive with me.
