I am confident that normal business procedure would have
compelled the agents of the ships' owners to keep a list of
the names of those who paid the fares, at least., as the net
proceeds after commissions had to be paid to the ships'
owners. But finding those Lists is another matter - I can't
believe but that somewhere tucked away in old storage bins
of the ships' owners' family records are some, if not all of
those accounting returns.
