For ships from East to West Coast via Isthmus, see http://www.pt5dome.com/PassHome.html New York City to California via Central America 1851-56 and 1865-66 AND MARINE NEWS OF THE DAY That generous contributor says, "The information on this site is taken from microfilm copies of The New York Daily Times. Beginning with the first issue of the Times, September 18, 1851, the lists will proceed through the years. When possible, passengers will be linked to the ship they later boarded on the Pacific side of the Isthmus for the final leg of the journey to San Francisco. If you don't locate your relative(s), e-mail me for a lookup in Louis J. Rassmussen's 'San Francisco Passenger Lists,' Vols. 1, 2, and 4, and 'California Wagon Train Lists,' Vol. 1." Alexandra
