Hello Carol,
Using the information Bill provided from the index you can obtain a copy
of the passenger list on microfilm, which can be ordered from a local
LDS Family History Center for viewing and photocopying for a small fee.
You can find the microfilm roll number you will need here...

You can find a worldwide directory of Family History Centers here...

Good luck with your search.

Regards,
Joe
