Passenger List Information
RMS Majestic Passenger List – 23 August 1933
White Star Line – Tourist Class Service
Description
A rare and distinguished Tourist Class Passenger List from the RMS Majestic, the flagship of the White Star Line, for its transatlantic voyage on 23 August 1933. This artifact offers an exquisite glimpse into the lives and journeys of passengers during the twilight years of the ocean liner era. Commanded by Commodore E. L. Trant, this voyage from Southampton to New York, via Cherbourg, reflects the rich history and grandeur of interwar maritime travel.
This page includes an unused Track Chart and Memorandum of Log, an exceptionally well-preserved front cover, and detailed entries on the ship’s luxurious amenities and prominent passengers, making it an invaluable collectible.
Key Features
- Voyage Date: 23 August 1933
- Route: Southampton – Cherbourg – New York
- Class: Tourist Class
- Command: Commodore E. L. Trant, R.D. (Cmdr., R.N.R., Retd.)
- Supplementary Items: Unused Track Chart and Memorandum of Log
- Passenger List: Over 300 passengers, representing diverse nationalities and vocations, with a focus on cultural and professional significance.
Historical and Design Highlights
The RMS Majestic, the largest ocean liner in the world at the time, was an engineering marvel. Originally built as the German liner SS Bismarck, she was awarded to Britain as war reparations after World War I. Upon joining the White Star Line, the Majestic became an icon of luxury, innovation, and reliability in transatlantic service.
This passenger list is a rich documentation of the interwar period, where ocean liners symbolized modernity, migration, and economic resilience. The detailed notes on amenities, such as professional orchestras, language services, and advanced communication systems, underscore the liner’s commitment to passenger comfort and global connectivity.
Notable Passengers (Potential VIPs)
- Bishop J. W. Atwood: A distinguished clergyman, his inclusion reflects the role of religious leaders in connecting communities across the Atlantic.
- Prof. Gerhard Cohn: A renowned academic and thought leader, traveling with his family, marking the intersection of intellectual migration and cultural exchange.
- Dr. John Barlow: A celebrated physician, embodying the advancement of transatlantic professional networks.
- Rabbi Maurice N. Eisendrath: A prominent figure in Jewish spiritual leadership, further emphasizing the ship's role in connecting global faith communities.
- Col. Harry D. McBride: A retired military officer, his presence highlights the prominence of ocean liners in transporting influential figures of the era.
These passengers contribute to the passenger list's appeal as a historical document, offering insights into the cultural and professional tapestry of the 1930s.
Historical Significance
The RMS Majestic Passenger List is not just a relic of a luxurious voyage but a testament to the transitional period of maritime travel. As the Great Depression reshaped global migration and tourism, documents like this capture the resilience and adaptability of ocean liners and their passengers. Its connection to one of history’s most celebrated ships further solidifies its value.
