A life of leisure is evoked on the cover of this a passenger list for RMS 'Makura', on voyage from San Francisco to Papeete, Rarotonga, Wellington, Sydney. The 'Makura' was built in 1908, and operated by the Union Steam Ship Company until 1936. On a return journey from Australia towards Tahiti in June that year, the papers reported that "the Makura to-day took a consignment of Australian live rabbits for a French importer at Tahiti. The animals and their families are to be liberated to help to level thick undergrowth". We wonder what happened to those rabbits and the Tahitian undergrowth.

Dreaming of a trip to Ellis Island? Passenger Search is the next best thing. It’s the online version of catching the ferry from Battery Park across the water to the former immigration centre and walking through the arrival hall. This online database charts the arrival of over 51 milllion immigrants on the shores of the United States in 1862-1957.

ܱPassenger Search contains the name, date of arrival, ship of travel and age on arrival of immigrants who travelled from all over the world to start a new life in the United States. It is a living reminder of all those who waited anxiously on Ellis Island for their fate to be decided, uncertain of what their future would hold. Passenger Search may not be quite as moving as seeing the Staircase of Separation but if your ancestors came to the United States via Ellis Island Passenger Search is a testament of their journey.
