 | Peter M. Lapice - 1855 Passenger List
(He is returning to the United States after traveling abroad. This document states his age as 36, but since it pretty clearly is him, that age on the document is incorrect. This document is for the ship Arago in 1855. Of the two ships built and launched which could be this ship Arago, the SS Arago, a side-wheel steamship was the only one that carried passengers abroad between the United States and Europe (and was built and launched in 1855): "From her first voyage in 1855 through March 1861, [SS] Arago operated as a transatlantic mail steamer, transporting passengers, cargo, mail, and specie between her home port of New York, Southampton, Liverpool and Le Havre."

| Notes |
- Pierre..."generally known as P.M. Lapice...was a merchant, sugar planter, and large-scale enslaver of 19th-century Mississippi and Louisiana..."
If any good thing regarding enslavement by this family could be said, it was this: In Isle Santo Domingo, P.M.'s father was a sugar and coffee planter who lost his fortune when the black population in Santo Domingo won their independence from France. And years later, in Louisiana and Mississippi, when P.M.'s slaves were freed as a result of the American Civil War, P.M. also lost his fortune when his fortune "walked off the job".—Based on parts of the Wikipedia article, "P.M. Lapice".
