SHIPS PASSENGER LISTS
List of Passengers M.S. Batory from Gdynia Tuesday, July 25th 1950 Copenhagen, Wednesday, July 26th Southampton, Friday, July 28th to New YorkContributor: Deborah WadeContributor 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.

The first Polish-built fast motor launch spent the long five and half years of WW11 safely in Sweden.
