Hi Howard The actual passenger lists are held by the Public Record Office, aka National Archives, at Kew. Visitors may consult them but you have to guess at a ship and a date first. Southampton Archives holds crew lists for many of the shipping lines based in Southampton, except for years ending with a 5, as these were taken by the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich.
