Passenger List

Comprehensive lists of all passengers appear on many web sites but Encyclopedia Titanica includes excellent biographies and is a very well recommended site.

Crew List

Also included on the Encyclopedia Titanica web site is a Comprehensive crew list. Crew lists also feature on the Southampton section of the PortCities web site. PortCities, also known as Plimsoll, captures the maritime history of 5 UK ports; Bristol, Hartlepool, Liverpool, London and Southampton from 1918-1939. It has a great deal of information on Southampton's maritime history and includes over 6000 images.
