Of the total of 462,748 passengers outward and inward in 1938, 44 per cent, were recorded at Southampton, 20 per cent, at London, and 16 per cent, at Liverpool, as compared with percentages of 48, 18 and 16, respectively in 1937. The predominance of Southampton as a passenger port was not, therefore, quite so marked in 1938 as in the two preceding years. Glasgow accounted for about 8| per cent, of the total in 1938, and ']\ per cent, in 1937. About 29,000 passengers disembarked at Plymouth both in 1938 and 1937, ^^he proportion of the total inward passengers rising from 12 to 13 per cent. Of the numbers travelling on pleasure cruises to places outside Europe, about three-quarters in both years embarked at Southampton or Liverpool, and most of the remainder at London.
