The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.

* Passenger numbers added to aid with referencing.

* Brit.h Brig Planter, the 'h' is written as superscript above the period, 
  as an abbreviation for "British."

* As there were no births or deaths recorded during the voyage, the "Number that 
  have died on the passage" column has been eliminated.

 1-2 Gentm? is written as the word "Gent" followed by an 'm' which extends out into a line,
     as an abbreviation for "Gentleman."
