Passenger Notes: 14 Jno Kay? - Kay might also be Hay 21 Margi?s de Radpont - In the first name the letters between the g and S could be i something or just a u but there looks to be a dot above. 25 Cha? D Roy - This looks like the a was ended up high as if the writer were going to add more letters but it also looks like a faintly crossed t with a very heavy period after. 29 C??? Pet? - The first name looks like Cuer but I just can't be sure. The last name looks like Petu but compared to passenger 31 could be Petru. 31 Mrs ? Petru - This passenger seems to be the wife of #20 so the middle initial is probably a C. It is just not neat enough to be absolutely sure. 33 Charles Cadw?ll - Last name could be Cadwell or Cadwill but is probably the latter. 48 Frederick Douglas - This passenger is the famous escaped slave and abolitionist. Douglas who was born Fredrick Augustus Bailey in 1817 in Talbot County, MD the child of a slave Harriet Bailey and an unknown white man. After lecturing widely in the north and publishing his autobiography he was in fear of being recaptured and so in 1845 went abroad and for 2 years he toured England and Ireland speaking against slavery. In 1847, after British friends purchased his freedom, Douglass returned to the U.S. Which is why he was on this ship. 52 Chares* S Gilmor - Chares appears to be a mispelled Charles 56 M Scnaer* - The writing appears very clear but the name just doesn't make any sense. 71 A ?an Sa?twood - the second part of this name begins in lower case and where it looks like it might be a b with no loop I believe it is a v making it van. The surname could be Santwood or Sautwood.
The Steamship Cambria ( 1845-1875) was one of six early steamers of the Cunard line. The first four were Britannia, Acadia, Caledonia and Columbia. Increasing traffic demanded the addition of Cambria and Hibernia. They were commissioned as Barque-rigged but like the rest of the paddle-wheel steamers so built the third mast was soon done away with. The Cambria was launched on 1 August 1844 and made its maiden voyage from Liverpool to Halifax and Boston on 4 January 1845. From 1848 onwards it began to alternate its destination between New York and Boston. Passenger accommodation was 120 1st class.
