Ship Manifests

This is a list of every LGBT person found on a ship manifest. The hope is that, by cross-referencing these listings, we may discover friends/lovers traveling together that we were not previously aware of - as they are often not listed together on alphabetic organized manifests. The listings are organized by ship, and then voyage.
