PASSENGER SHIP HISTORY SERVICE Donald Hazeldine's site, where he says, "Are you looking for information on a specific passenger ship? Did a relative of yours emigrate to America or Australia on a ship, and all you know is the vessel's name? You want to know more? I have an extensive library and research database, compiled over a period of 30 years. Give me just the name of the vessel and its approximate date, after 1870, I can provide details of the ship's voyages, ports of call and key dates. Often a good starting point for tracing your family history."
