The one case I know about was when Dr. Louis Lalaurie arrived in New Orleans on the ship Fanny from Bordeaux in 1825. It was a commercial ship carrying mostly cargo for various merchants, plus about eight passengers. There was a passenger list filled out by the captain.

There was a short passenger list for one voyage but I haven't been able to find the other at the Seaport Museum, the ITGS, the Olive Tree, Ancestry, etc. I think the Courtney was a commercial ship, not a passengership. It took cotton to Liverpool, picked up a few passengers, and returned to New Orleans. Does anyone know if those empty commercial ships had to declare their small human cargo coming into New Orleans or if those ships actually came into a different port from the passenger ships ?
