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).
