Transcriber's Notes:

* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not
  the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information
  in the transcriber's notes.

? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
  condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.

There were no deaths on the voyage, therefore the Death column has been
  eliminated.
The signature for the Collector of the District is very difficult to read.
The first letter of the first name is a definite B, the second letter could
  be either e or l, and the third letter is definitely an r.  The surname
  could be Chim or Chiw.

Passenger numbers have been added for ease in referencing.

2  Passenger Thomas Br??? - The surname might be Bruce but is not as clearly
   written as the other names.
