Some passenger list information relating to the ship "Edwin Fox" have been extracted from a booklet published by the "Edwin Fox Restoration Society Inc." They in turn have used a variety of sources (government, business and private) to bring the information together. The Society's mission is to restore the ship to it's original glory, after years of ravage from the elements.
