Contributor Notes: Off and on, I collect old menus and ephemera connected with trains, cruises, airplanes/airports, etc. The passenger list I'm about to transcribe is one such item. Maybe one of the passengers will be significant to a fellow genealogist. Although this voyage was in 1950, I believe there is some history behind the Batory: I have read that it was the last Polish passenger ship to leave Poland before the Nazis gained control in the late 1930's.

Please do not contact me for additional information regarding this ship or these passengers; the list I am about to make is all the information I have. I have no other passenger lists amongst my collectibles.

I am using a "web appliance" that does not enable me to use special alphabetical characters the way Word does, so my apologies if accents and Polish lettering do not appear below. Aside from the names, the text is in English.

See the list of [Southampton passengers] [Copenhagen passengers] [Poland passengers]

Note from Deborah: This is the end of the list. The next page is blank with a heading of "Autographs," followed by a page of administrative information for round-trip ticket holders. Because the list ends here with "Gr," I think that the list shown in Message #2 may actually be a continuation of the first class passengers from Copenhagen. Just a calculated guess. Hope this list proves helpful to someone.
