Le Havre Passenger Lists 1887-1964
Front Cover, Le Havre -- New York by Christian Clères. | GGA Image ID # 19eb5eab08
Le Havre is a city in the Seine-Maritime department of the Haute-Normandie region in France. It is situated in north-western France, on the right bank of the mouth of the river Seine on the English Channel.
Le Havre has long suffered from poor land links as a port city on an exposed marshy coast. New road connections have been built since; among the most notable is the Pont de Normandie, which connects the two banks of the Seine and reduces traveling time between Honfleur and Le Havre to less than 15 minutes. Le Havre is naturally separated into two areas by a cliff.
Note: Typically, only the origination and final destination ports are listed in each link. Other intermediary ports of call are not listed.

The Port of Le Havre
Le Havre. This port is now one of France's great military ports and was not visited by the Commission. As will be seen from the map in this chapter, not only are great extensions being carried out in the harbor, but excellent additional docking facilities have also been planned. Of course, the map does not indicate that part of the harbor works, which served as a base for the British expeditionary force.
The Compagnie Générale Transatlantique passenger service was transferred from Le Havre to Bordeaux. As is well known, this line carries merchandise, passengers, and mail between the United States and France. Its regular freight steamer service continues between Le Havre and New York and, in fact, has been increased since the beginning of the war.
It is anticipated that after the war, the company will establish a new freight service between Bordeaux and Baltimore and return the New York passenger service to Le Havre.
Since the war's outbreak, various governments have withdrawn many steamers for military purposes. Steamers have been sunk by submarines, and the shipbuilding yards of France have been devoted chiefly to naval construction. The consequent lack of ships and rapid advances in ocean freight rates have hampered commerce, for the chief concern has been to obtain the products required for military operations.
Opposite Le Havre and several miles inland, the Seine widens into a broad bay, exposed to the sweep of storms from the Channel. A radical improvement has been made to provide for safety for barge and light steamer traffic by constructing the Tancarville canal from Le Havre to a point on the Seine's narrow portion about 15 miles away.
About 77 miles by water from Le Havre, Rouen is at the head of navigation for ocean-going ships. It is the point of transshipment to barges of a large amount of coal and other freight destined for Paris. The essential interior port of Paris is about 145 miles by water from Rouen and 222 miles from Le Havre.
Napoleon said, "Paris, Rouen, and Le Havre are but one city. The Seine is its great street."

⚠️ 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.
