The manifest shows various passengers, but of particular interest:

Row 7:
WANDERWELL-PETERCZYK, [Walter/Valerian] | 34 | M | [M] | World Expedition | Pol-Eng-German | Polish | Poland | Cracovie | NI.35 | Warsaw | Oct 25 1929 | Prague | [unclear]

[WANDERWELL], Olga | 23 | F | M | [occupation unclear] | [unclear] | Jamaican | Jamaica | [unclear] | [unclear] | Aug 12 1929 | [unclear] | [unclear]

Note: This appears to be Walter Wanderwell (born Valerian Peterczyk) and his wife Aloha Wanderwell (born Olga). They were traveling on the same ship as Justine Tibesar and Olga Vandriessche, departing from Le Havre on November 1st, 1929.

The manifest confirms that Walter and Aloha Wanderwell were indeed traveling on the same ship as Justine Tibesar, supporting the connection between them and their involvement in the Work Around the World Educational Club (WAWEC) expeditions.
