Does anyone know where I could find a passenger list for english ship that sank in 1882? The ship was called the RMS Duoro and was discovered about 1982. It was carrying a good amount of gold coins, dust, bars and diamonds. My g-grandfather is said to have been a passenger on this ship. I'm looking to confirm this. Any help would be appreciated.

They are not indexed so it's quite a hefty search, however knowing the name of the ship and the rough date the ship sailed on is of enormous benefit. You'll need to know what port it sailed from as well. Graham :) ===== "This book is not to be discarded lightly: it should be thrown with great force..."
