Have spent a few minutes looking for your "missing" passenger Mr. A Wright and haven't found any new information to assist you in your search.

Where did your original information come from? Are you sure about the date of departure and  the name of the ship?

Hi there,

Yes Im sure of the information.
The information was written in a newspaper article announcing his death.
The young man Arturo Wright died while on Holiday in England.

I will post the article on here when I find out how to.

Thank you for spending time looking Im very grateful.
regards Maureen

in the old days many wealthy people travelled on tankers, cargo ships and the like, a lot of people liked to travel this way as there were not many passengers.
they were called Banana Boats, as some of their main cargo was bananas. 
the English cricket team that toured the West Indies in 1959–60 used banana boats to travel across the Atlantic and between the islands.
havent managed to find the one your looking for though ;-(
good luck!

Thank you for your reply it was very interesting, and as you say quite possible that he traveled on the tanker.

regards Maureen

Hopefully if I do this right.
 I am about to attempt to attach the article I mentioned in this post
in the hope that I may be able to get help with finding the missing passenger.
