Passenger lists, England to USA

[eppy]

My ancestor emigrated from Liverpool to the USA on board The Wyoming in 1887 or 1888.  Does anyone have access to the passenger lists for that period?

I can't work out what years this website covers but have you tried..

Ellis Island opened in 1892, so if the person sailed to New York prior to that, you would need to check www.castlegarden.org.  The passenger lists from that time frame usually give little information.

Thanks for that Shelley,I seemed to look all over the Ellis Island website and not find the dates it covered

As a first step, you need to try Castle Garden which includes many [but not all] entries at New York up to 1892, after which the entries were registered at Ellis Island.  There are some other passenger lists available at FamilySearch  - Philadelphia, Boston, New Orleans, etc. - but they aren't all indexed.

Thanks to you all for your help.  Unfortunately I have not had any joy following suggestions.
