Created by Michael Campos Muñoz

8,000 Spanish families would make their way from Spain to Hawaii working on sugar and pineapple plantations. Life was very hard as most left Hawaii for California, to work in the fields and canneries. Now, four generations later these Spanish immigrants have blended into the fiber of America. I hope this small contribution help Professor James D. Fernandez whose great work can be seen on the Facebook fan page called Spanish Immigrants in the United States and his web page http://tracesofspainintheus.org/

Thanks to Steven Alonzo, Patricia Ruiz Steele and Cristóbal Navas Perez for their work transcribing the original manifest documents into these databases.

 IMMIGRATION SHIP MANIFESTS 1907-1913

The immigrant ship manifests are currently being transcribed and indexed for descendants from the ship sailings.  

The index has been published to  

Spanish Hawaiian Heritage Association.

This was created in 2023 to preserve the memory of the more than 8,000 Spaniards who emigrated to Hawaii between 1907 and 1913 on the ships Heliopolis, Orteric, Willesden, Harpalion and Ascot and then to California.  The group is organizing its September 2025 California congress to bring together all San Francisco Bay Area descendants who wish to attend.  https://www.sphha.org
