Report error: Ship names and sailing dates wrong, NY Book Indexes to Passenger Lists
I don't see very many correctly indexed ship names in this Roll. I was wondering why I found an ancestor on a passenger list for 1915 when they sailed in 1907. Both the dates and ship name were wrong, and then I saw that the entire roll has shifted. These people are sailing on the Triste instead of the Carmania in 1907.

I saw some "sailing on" the SS California, same problem, except they are sailing in 1915 (the whole roll is for 1907) and on a different ship. Thousands of problems due to some index error for this roll, from the 1st record on.
Roll 56 Cunard, Anchor, 1907 Nov-Dec

Can anyone fix this entire roll of film? Thousands of passengers are listed for the wrong year, wrong ship, etc. Here is poor Ed Alexander (and the rest of the Mauretania's passengers) arriving in "1915" on the (erroneous) "SS California" when his actual ship arrived in December 1907.

@WuNee Sorry that you have been waiting so long for a response. Yes, indeed, the indexed information for this record collection is rather a mess. We will get it reported. We are not able to predict how long it will take to get the records straightened out. For now, you'll want to be sure to pull up the images to get the right ship and immigration year. Our apologies for the errors.
