----- Original Message ----- From: rita Subject: re New York times ship lists I did not give the best directions so here goes again. Go to the site, when you get to the search box. type in Ships or passenger lists. you will get a window with several choices. Scroll down to SHIPPING MAILS. I knew the exact date of our arrival so it was easier, you might have to go through a number of years so it can be a long process. It is PDF format. Remember also that it would be listed the following day, for instance we arrived on the 22nd so we were listed on the 23rd. There is an awful lot of stuff that may be usable or just plain interesting. Maureen deserves the credit for sharing, I just passed it on. Rita R
