Note: Typically, only the origination and final destination ports are listed in each link. Other intermediary ports of call are not listed.
In the struggle to take a prominent place among the Atlantic ports of the Continent, one of the most favorable competitors seems to be Cherbourg. British, American, French, and German shipping companies used this famous French port during their ocean trade.
The port authorities are keen on bringing Cherbourg to the fore in European shipping circles. However, the port has a long way to go before one can reasonably place it among Europe's leading harbors. The water depth in the main port is 40 ft ., allowing all types of modern shipping to use the port.
These include vessels of the Cunard, White Star, Royal Mail, Red Star, United States Line, American Line, Lloyd Royal Belge, and the Lloyd Royal Hollandais, as well as French lines. In a recent report on the harbor, which covers an area of 3,725 acres, Monsieur Jean Hersent stated: "Situated exactly on the route of the liners destined for The North Sea, the port of Cherbourg has become by force of circumstances our greatest port of call for foreign lines to America, which has almost all adopted it as a "speed port" for the transit of travelers."
Moreover, "Cherbourg was the object of the solicitations of seven great foreign companies whose liners - veritable giants of the sea - could carry out there in all circumstances the trans-shipment of their passengers and the discharge of their cargo."

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.
