Spanish Hawaiian Immigrant Ship Index

Please wait a moment while we prepare this page for you.

The first ship to transport workers en masse from Spain to Hawaii was the SS Victoria in 1899. The ship departed from Vigo in Galicia and carried over 200 men women and children to Hawaii.The Hawaiian Planters Association organized a recruitment of families on six ships carrying over 8000 Spaniards between 1907 and 1913. 

 

The following Index is a transcription of the ship manifests for all of those voyages. Items in red are corrections to the original manifest. The Index is divided into 3 tabs located at the bottom of the document.  They are: 1899, 1907-1913, and 1907-1913 Alpha.

 

The index includes hyperlinks to the original ship manifest for each individual. All hyperlinks appear in blue. Click the manifest link to view the original manifest page on Family Search.
