Singapore Passenger Lists
Passenger Lists available from the GG Archives from the Port of Singapore. Organized by Date of Departure, Steamship Line, Steamship or Ocean Liner, Class of Passengers, Route, and the Ship's Captain.
Singapore is the most important port of call in the Straits Settlements for vessels to and from the Far East.
Wharves—Singapore harbor board’s wharves available at all states of tide.
Docks—The town is well off for docks. The Tanjong Pagar Dock Board premises, which were taken over from a public limited liability company by the Colonial government in 1906 at a cost of £3,448,339 fixed by arbitration, lie about a mile to the westward of the town, fine wharves affording berthage for a large number of vessels at one time, with sufficient water alongside for vessels of the deepest draft and protected by a breakwater from the swell from the roads and from the strength of the tides. There are commodious godowns erected on the wharves for the storage of goods.

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.
