Transcribed Ships List

Notes

1. You can easily sort the above data by any column. You can also search for specific data, such as date or ship name, in one or more columns. Consult the search form instructions in the passengers data base page for more details.

2. Be sure to search for alternate spellings, as many ship and port names were mispelt in the newspaper articles.

3. All accents have been removed to facilitate searching.

4. If you can't find the ship name you are looking for, try using wildcards in your search.

5. If you still can't find the ship name or date, please check back at some future time as we continue transcribing ships as time permits.

6. The spelling of ship names and ports have not been corrected - they are transcribed as they appear in the originals.

7. A "?" or "." indicates that the data was not available or was illegible in the reference. A "-" indicates a single character that was illegible in the reference. A "(?)" after the data indicates our best guess for the illegible data.

8. Port names are usually given in the Spanish version (Cayo Hueso = Key West, Santomas = Saint Thomas).

9. In Ref A, the number following the ship's name is used to differentiate the voyage if the same ship is listed more than once.

10. References D & E did not indicate the ship names. Passenger names, however, have been transcribed to the database.

11. Reference F did not indicate the ship's name except in the case of a few families. Where available, the ship names appear in the passengers data base but they probably do not appear in the above ships list.

Port Names

Some ports were known then by a different name than at present. Here are some port names that may not be obvious:

Ship Types

NOTE: Where available in the source we have indicated the flag of the ship after the ship type as follows:
esp=española/o (spanish), am=americana/o (USA), fr=francesa/o (french), ing=inglés (british), belg=belga (belgian), au=austriaca (austrian), brem=from Bremen (Germany), germ=germanico (German), sardo=from Sardinia (?)(Italy).
