More Information About the Port of Southampton
The Image Shows the RMS Mauretania Departing Southampton on 2 July 1935. She Was One of the Three Express Liners of the Cunard Line - The Lusitania, Aquitania, and Mauretania. She Had Been Sold to Metal Industries, Who Would Soon Break up This Fine Liner. The RMS Olympic Is Visible in the Background. GGA Image ID # 1d44393290
From several points of view, Southampton is one of the most exciting ports in the British Isles. It is, for instance, an outstanding example of a port developed by a railroad company for the sake of the passenger traffic commanded by a favorable location.
Then it possesses the extraordinary phenomenon of four tides a day. A glance at the map will understand the explanation of this natural endowment. One will see that Southampton lies some six miles up Southampton Water and that opposite the end of this deep inlet stands the Isle of Wight.

When a tide sweeps up the English Channel, it sweeps up Southampton Water. Still, when the ebb tide begins through the Channel and sweeps again past the Isle of Wight, the flood is held in Southampton Water and cannot get out.
The result is that two hours after every high tide in the English Channel, it is high tide for a second time at Southampton. Thus Southampton has practically four hours of the high tide every twenty-four hours.
When released from their wartime service, the Aquitania and the Olympic, the two largest British-built ships, were placed on this express terry between Southampton and New York.
The Mauretania and the ex-German Berengaria have all been in the big dock at Southampton simultaneously, forming a unique spectacle.
By the way, this dock is, from prolonged usage by the White Star Line, called the "White Star Dock." The name, of course, is not precisely relished by the Cunard Company, whose big liners are also obliged to use it.
Particulars of the White Star Dock, the largest and deepest at Southampton, are as follows:
- Water area, 16 acres
- Length of quayage, 3,800 feet
- Length of the dock, 1,600 feet
- Width of the entrance 400 feet
- Depth of high water, ordinary spring tides, 53 feet
- Depth at low water, ordinary spring tides, 40 feet

⚠️ 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.”
Need help? If you spot a likely transcription error in captions, feel free to contact us with the page URL and a brief note—we love community input. 🙏
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.
