This is a reprint of a wholly unique and virtually unknown list of 3,000 ships’ passengers which was originally published by the Boston Registry Department as part of a larger work. The importance of this ship passenger list lies in the fact that the passengers named embarked from a great many different ports, so an ancestor can be traced from among a wide range of places of origin, some previously unsuspected by the researcher. Each passenger is cited with the name of his ship, exact date of arrival, and occupation.
