Transcriber's Notes:
The numbering system employed is that of the transcriber and not of the lister.
The original form numbered 1-30. Lister used these numbers, but at times only
partially filled a page. Transcriber numbered consecutively.
A ? indicates letter or letters which could not be read because of the quality of
the document.
The parentheses are used to add comments of transcriber and to clarify where
necessary--they were not that of the lister himself.
Passengers 1-112 sailed from Liverpool 7/21/1906; these are first-class
passengers. Passengers 113-149 sailed from Queenstown, Ire. 7/22/1906, also
First Class Passengers. Passengers 150-353 sailed from Liverpool 7/21/1906 and
were probably Second Class Passengers, as were Passengers 354-399 from
Queenstown. Passengers 400-970 were Steerage passengers.
Passenger #598, Julius Ogren is my paternal grandfather. In his diary he
describes the voyage and I thought I would share it:
"July 21 - Got on board the grey Ocean Steamship, SS Lukania which had been
inspected and left port at 5:00.
July 22 - On the Ocean. Took passengers from Ireland, about 60 in number. Quiet
sea, but sea is dark.
July 23 - Wind blew; however, otherwise beautiful.
July 24 - Rain in the morning. Westerly storm. Middle of the afternoon,
quieter, clear weather.
July 25 - Rather cloudy, not some hard storms.
July 26 - Rainy weather, no fog.
July 27 - Rain and fog. Middle afternoon clear, rather beautiful weather.
Came in NY's harbor in the evening. Anchored at 9:00. We got to behold
a big and beautiful fireworks display.
July 28 - 9:00 in the morning, we stepped onto land and began to go through
the examination of our papers. The same were inspected and we got the
tickets cleared, a long, boring wait closed in a waiting room; went off
on the Baltimore Railroad at 12:20 after midnight."
It is worthy to note that Passenger 869 is the famed Nobel prize-winning
author, Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951).

Correspondence 10/21/2004 friend listed under passenger #178 Parker/Flint
George Flint 5708 Ridge Avenue - wife named Jane
Flint was the brother in law of my maternal great grandfather George Arthur
Smith (wife Alice Cooper)
Flint was the sponsor on the Naturalisation of George Arthur Smith ( I
have the original 1896 copy)
Flint was an importer of dyestuffs prior to and during WWI. He smuggled in
colorfast dyes from germany to supply the Philad'a carpet industry and made
a fortune, He rolled the monies into an office building in Philadelphia
named The Flint Building. (demolished a few years ago)
The Smiths came from Bradford, Yorkshire, so I assume Flint came from
nearby that area. Richard H. McCaffrey
