Thank you for any information. > >Cheryl Matysek >bcmaty@sbcglobal.net The Swedish American Line ship KUNGSHOLM had arrived at New York on June 30th 1929, with 23 first clas, 57 second class and 189 third class passengers. I wonder if it was a tour group from the ship? The ship wasn't cruising, rather was on a regular passenger schedule, but I don''t see why people couldn't have treated it as a cruise if they wanted . . it sailed again from New York on July 3rd 1929 with 1,745 passengers. There are other possibilities of course, and extended tour, or a conference they were all attending . . . in Washington ? You might research the Washington newspapers, and even the New York papers to see if such a group was mentioned. I can't advise you myself of how to get a passenger list for that June 30th arrival, but it wouldn't be too helpful unless the group was identified in some manner.
