New York Daily Times, April 25, 1853:

[We republish from the Daily Times of April 11 (1853), the following list of passengers who left New-York for San Juan, on the 20th January last, on board the Northern Light, and are supposed to have connected with the Independence. It is probable that a large proportion of these persons, were passengers on board the ill-fated vessel at the time of the disaster. Added to this list, we also give the names of a large number of passengers, who left New-Orleans in the Daniel Webster on the 22d of January, intending to connect with the Independence There are as yet no means of determining the proportion of this number, in all nearly nine hundred persons, who succeeded in obtaining passage by the Independence. The publication of the names of the passengers from the Atlantic side, may at least serve to allay anxiety, until we shall receive detailed accounts. --- Ed. Times.]

NOTE: On April 26, 1853, the Times published a list of the passengers who were lost in the SS Independence disaster. An asterisk denotes passengers who were lost. Additional information is state of origin.
