Reason for the question I have a photo album from the 1920's with lots of place names and names of ships but no names of the people in the pictures eg. Gibraltar 1923, Galway 1924, Vigo 1926, so this family got around a bit but no names

Passenger Lists
Is it possible to find a list of passengers for a given ship and year, where the people are just going on holiday rather than emigrating etc.?

Re: Passenger Lists
I've done a bit of digging in terms of passenger lists, and they do list everyone who was a passenger on the ship. I have certainly found entries for people who weren't emigrating.
Some lists are for ships leaving the UK, others are arrivals. I don't think there are lists for every single ship however, as I have several "holes" in my research - this may also be due to incorrect transcription. The other problem is where there is limited information about the individual travelling, sometimes I've found records for a "Mrs So and So", with no additional info to tell me whether I'm on the right track.
If you've got a whole family travelling it may be easier to track them down.
