You can obtain a copy of the passenger list by subscribing to the Ancestry.com database or a less expensive way, rent the microfilm passenger list from a local Family History Center, www.familysearch.org or from the National Archives, www.nara.gov.
The Baltimore Steamship Society does not list the Idaho in their photographic collection index but this does not reflect their entire collection, they will do a search of their collection for a fee.
