The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to the quality of the original document. McRichie* This spelling of the ship Master's name appears only once, the other two instances are spelled McRitchie. The Collector's name was illegible. There were no births or deaths recorded on this voyage therefore the birth and death columns have been eliminated. Passenger numbers have been added to aid with referencing. 2 The occupation listing for Char Bliss: the second letter is questionable, it 'might' be 'artiste.'
