Hi Jaybee - there is an article from 1978 called "Passenger List of the Ticonderoga, 1850" on the academic database, JStore, which includes a passenger list. If you don't have access to an institution account, you should be able to register as a guest (see alternate access options). The link is https://www.jstor.org/stable/25519953 Cheers, Deb.
