Ship Arrival Database

Search passenger ships calling at Pier 21 in Halifax from 1928-1971. Dates are scheduled arrival dates, so they are occasionally off by a day or two if the ship arrived early or late.

Please note, the database is incomplete. The source material for 1960 and 1962-1966 was damaged or missing. Some crossings, such as those chartered by refugee assistance organizations, may not be reflected.
