This page is part of Sylvia Murphy's 'Passages to India' website.     For further information about the mode of travel from England to India in the mid 19th century, please see the P & O Overland Route page.    For further information about P & O, history is included on the Company's own pages. Further information about British India Steam Navigation Company (BISN) can be found here.

The passenger list below was given to Sylvia by a relative who was on board the Straithaird with her young son.  The names included on this page are only a partial list and comprise those persons disembarking (or embarking) at Port Said, Bombay and Colombo.  There is a much more extensive list available of passengers who were disembarking at Australian ports.  There are no plans to include these additional names on this page, but email enquiries about presence of specific names will be answered.

Please note, there is no other information available, other than that posted on the linked pages.
