I hold a complete and original List of Passengers for SS Ruahane, Southampton to Wellington, via Panama Canal, 3 July to 9 August 1924 detailing Officers, Passengers by Class (ie. First Saloon, etc) and miscellaneous information. This is a vessel's original document which must have been given to each passenger or group as my relatives have completed a "daily distance run" log on the inside rear cover.

It took me almost two frustrating years to locate my great-grandparents emigration from Scotland. I am willing to answer ONLY those enquirers who are certain their relatives travelled on this vessel and voyage. For those enquirers who are not certain, please accept my apologies in advance and understand that I am unable to answer each and every speculative enquiry. Kind regards.
