Transcribers Notes:
* The original document did not list anyone in the "died on voyage" column,
so it has been omitted.
* Passenger names have been transcribed here exactly as they were written in
the original document. Some names contain only initials or titles, and the
surname. Some passengers were listed without a surname.
* The ? marks indicate letters or words that cannot be read due to the
quality of the original document. Following are attempts to decipher the
most readable. Those with question marks who are not listed, could not be
made out at all with even marginal accuracy.
* Passenger # 5, the name may be Antico, Antieo, or Anties.
* Passenger # 5, the age is partially obscured by a dark blotch. Possibly
26 or 36.
* Passenger # 11, the second letter may be an m or an n.
* Passenger # 13, the name may be Done, Doric, or Doni.
* Passengers # 25 and # 29, the occupation listed for both is "paniter". I
believe it should be "Painter".
* Passenger # 28, the second initial, a small "m", is underlined.
* Passenger # 41, has two initials before his surname. Both are unreadable.
* Passenger # 47, only the one initial, "L", was listed for this child.
* Passebger # 51, the "t" in Heath was not crossed.
