If anyone is at all interested, you can find immigration records from incoming ships via Ancestry. That way, researchers can find crew and passenger lists for civilian freighters during WWII...ESPECIALL if the ships sailed into NYC Harbor...and others too. I was able to find partial lists of US returning POW's (RAMP)who came home on the ship I am writing about. The lists in this particular case were movement lists from the Army and listed name, rank and unit...as well as serial number .
