List of Passengers M.S. Batory from Gdynia Tuesday, July 25th 1950
Copenhagen, Wednesday, July 26th Southampton, Friday, July 28th to New York
Contributor: Deborah Wade
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.

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.
