SS Tacoma

Hong Kong to Tacoma, Washington via Kobe and Yokohama, Japan
25 Feburary 1896

This ships passenger list could be a duplicate of the SS Tacoma dated February 1896. It is probable that this manifest is for a port of call as it lists Hong Kong, Kobe and Yokohama, whereas the other list only mentions Yokohama. We have decided to upload both manifests, each with their own interpretation of surnames since it is possible they are for two separate voyages. Please check both ships for information. SS Tacoma
