Transcriber's notes:
This list had brackets after the name linking all family members.
USA was written as United States of America on original manifest.
Only First and Second cabin passengers were numbered. To aid with
referencing, all passengers have been renumbered sequentially.
* 66 could be Telegraphist
* 75 written as N/N (no name?)
* all of the ages were written connected as in handwriting, difficult to
transcribe, might be incorrect.
