This collection contains passenger manifests of ships arriving in Seattle, Washington from 1890 to 1957. The most common information available includes the passenger’s name, age, gender, date of arrival, and the name of the ship. More detailed passenger manifests include additional information such as marital status, birthplace, nationality, last residence, port of departure, destination, as well as the names and addresses of family members both in the United States and in the home country. Comprised of NARA publication M1383.<br><br>Early passenger lists were single-page manifests and recorded minimal information about passengers. Over time, forms were standardized and additional questions were added. By 1907, passenger manifests contained 29 columns and were two pages wide. The addition of names and addresses of relatives both in the United States and in the home country were also added to manifests starting in 1907.<br>A common omission for genealogists when dealing with two-page manifests has been to locate the first page and miss the existence of the second. This collection includes single joint-images that have been stitched together, so that important information will not be missed.
