Transcriber's Notes:

The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due
to the quality of original document.

The original manifest was not numbered, but is numbered here to make
transcriber's notes easier to follow.

No passengers died on this voyage so that column was eliminated.

In order to save space the passenger's sex has been abbreviated to M or F;
St. John New Brunswick has been abbreviated to St. John N.B.; and United
States of America has been shortened to United States.

Passenger #7 - The first initial is either a W. or an A. and the second
initial is either an I. or a J.
Passenger #10 - John ?. ?????? - Middle initial could be A. or R.  The last
name looks as if the ink smudged and is totally illegible, but looks as if
it contains 6 letters.
Passenger #14 - The first initial is either a W. or an A.
Passenger #17 - The middle initial is either an I. or a J.
Passenger #20 - The first initial is either a W. or an A.
Passenger #32 - ? Ridout - the first initial looks like it could be an E,
and it looks as if she is probably under 10 years old.  This line was cut
off halfway in filming.
