HI Katerine,

I found a website with passenger list for many voyages of the SS Switzerland. Just enter the name of ship in the Search, click find and there you go      https://www.immigrantships.net/index.html    

Good luck in your search.

The SS Switzerland sailed from Antwerp on 29 November 1900, and arrived at Philadelphia on 14 December 1900. You will find images of the passenger manifest, on familysearch.org, at  https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GP1Z-S1D?i=500&wc=M616-JTL%3A214206501&cc=1921481 (frame 501).

Dear Ms. Kelly,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located the Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1/1/1883 - 12/31/1945 (T840) and the Index (Soundex) to Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1/1/1883 - 6/28/1948 (T526) in the Records of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (Record Group 85) that includes the listing of the SS Switzerland on December 14, 1900. Unfortunately, the records are not digitized yet. For access to T840 & T526, please contact the National Archives at Washington, DC - Textual Reference (RDT1) via email at archives1reference@nara.gov.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgement as well as a substantive response to your reference request from RDT1. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience.

T526 & T840 have been digitized by Ancestry. We located a 12/14/1900 arrival of the SS Switzerland from Antwerp in Philadelphia using the “Pennsylvania Passenger and Crew Lists, 1800-1962” data set. The results listed a number of individuals who arrived on 12/14/1900 aboard that ship.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Archives has partnered with Ancestry to make the vast majority of their NARA-digitized holdings freely available to the public. Anyone with Internet access may create an account, access NARA records, and use other Ancestry resources, such as their educational offerings and family tree-maker application. For more information see Ancestry’s announcement -- “Free At-Home Education Resources From Ancestry® and Access to Nearly 500M National Archives Records”.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research.
