California Bound | SS Pacific to San Francisco

Daily Panama Star
Panama City, Panama
May 13, 1853

NOTE: This is a list of passengers who were aboard the Vanderbilt Line's SS Pacific, from San Juan del Sur to San Francisco. The note expresses their dissatisfaction in no uncertain terms. They caution the public that until they arrived in San Francisco, "we have met with such treatment and indignity as would not be tolerated by any enlightened community towards an emigrant ship from any port of Europe: under which circumstances to denounce the conduct of all concerned on the said line." The ship had been overbooked, promised accommodations were not available, and they were furnished with meat "…that would have been thrown into the Mississippi river by the proper authorities (and) the vendors of the same would be held liable to a severe and just punishment." Letter dated: San Francisco, April 23, 1853.
