Where can I find the passenger list of the ship Laura coming from Patra, Greece that arrived in New York on November 10, 1910?

Nancy Cook

I am trying to find my grandfather's name on the ship manifest of the ship, Laura.  I have a copies of his Petition for Naturalization and Declaration of Intent which state that he arrived on the ship Laura (Austrian-America line) on November 10, 1910.  He left from Patras, Greece.  His name was Konstantinos Andros Petratos.  I find his cousin, Georgios Petratos, on the manifest, but I don't see his name.  So I assume there is a misspelling.  I wanted to search the manifest in hopes of finding his name.

    Where can I find the entire manifest for a specific ship?

    It's always possible he used his cousin's ticket.  To get to the manifest though, go to: https://stevemorse.org/ellis/boat.html  I entered arrived between November 9, 1910 and November 11th.  Ship name Laura.  That gets me to a page with a link to the ship manifest.  That starts with the detained sheets.

    Thanks Joel. 

    Is the ship manifest information recorded when the passenger boards the ship? I mean his cousin states he is going to his uncle's home.  If it were my grandfather who used the ticket, wouldn't he have said he was going to his brother's home not his uncle?  

    Do you know how to move between different pages within the manifest.

    The manifest information is usually gotten when the ticket is purchased.  The ticket salesman sends the information to the shipping company to create the manifest.  The link I showed has a system on that page to advance images incrementally... but be careful as you can also advance film volumes.

    Go to Ellis Island.com and the ship Laura from Patras arrived in November 10, 1910. It has the the manifest list. Coinsidently I found my wifes Grandfather on the list with his new wife.  I am now looking for the ship image.  By the way I'm sure it will be there, the mispelling is common as the grandfather was spelled wrong, either input or the trascrjber spelled it wrong, as the handwriting mixes things up.

    Thank you for posting your question on History Hub!  The National Archives at Philadelphia is the repository for the permanently valuable records of federal agencies and federal courts in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.  We are also a repository for permanently valuable records of federal agencies and federal courts in New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

    If you want to look at each page of a specific New York passenger list, you should be able to find it on NARA Microfilm Publication T715, Passenger and Crew Lists of Vessels Arriving at New York, New York, 1897-1957.  Rolls 1587 to 1602 contain images of passenger lists from November 1910.  Our facility in Philadelphia does not have a copy of this microfilm publication at present, and original paper records of New York passenger lists from this period no longer exist because the Immigration and Naturalization Service destroyed them after they were microfilmed.  However, you can view the microfilm at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.  Digital copies of this microfilm are available on Ancestry.com, a NARA partner site.

    Another source that might be of interest to you is NARA Microfilm Publication T612, Book Indexes to New York Passenger Lists, 1906-1942.  This microfilm publication does not contain images of passenger lists.  It contains alphabetical indexes of passenger manifests that are grouped by shipping line and arranged chronologically by date of arrival.  If you are able to find an entry for the ship Laura, you may be able to determine whether Konstantinos Andros Petratos accompanied his cousin Georgios Patratos to the U.S.  This microfilm publication should also be available at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.  Digital copies of it are available on FamilySearch, a NARA partner site.

    You can also order copies of passenger arrival records from the National Archives by mail or online.  For instructions on how to do so, and to read more about passenger arrival records in the National Archives, click here:
