Transcriber's Notes:
*Ship name is clearly written on manifest as "Irmos Amigos"; Later 
 manifests are all written as "Irmaos Amigos" with tilde over 'a' in 
 "Irmaos".
*Clearly written as "Bravo", however neighbor island to Fogo is Brava 
 Island, no "Bravo" found on map of CVI.
*CVI overwritten by "NIA" or "NIO" at later time.
