Transcriber's Notes:
There is a Manifest page of this sailing missing from the National Archives. Apparently in the
process of filming these pages, this one was missed. It is from passenger 133 to 179. In the
event that this page is made available from NARA, it will be added to this transcription.
This manifest has sustained some water damage, where the document was folded. Some of the
names can be read through the smear, but some simply cannot be read. It is through all pages
and is worse on some pages than others.
The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was elminated from this transcription as there were
no deaths on this passage.
The "Location of compartment or space occupied" column was abbreviated by the transcriber.
After Steerage abbreviated as Aft/Steer
No 2 Steerage abbreviated as #2 Steer
No 1 FP Cabin Deck abbreviated as #1CabDeck
No 1 FP Steerage Deck abbreviated as #1 StDeck
No 2 Aft Steerage abbreviated as #2 AftStr
Intermediate abbreviated as Inter
The transcriber has used the abbreviation PS for Protracted Sojourn. Most passengers
intended to remain in the United States. IT was used for those who were In Transit.
The original lister numbered the passengers and provided a recapitulation at the end
of the manifest.
This manifest sustained serious water damage, especially at the center of the individual
pages, through the entire document. Some of the entries simply are not able to be read.
A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the
quality of the document. Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's
Notes of what this letter/letters may be.
An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which further
explains the entry.
245 Country going to: Canada.
248 Surname possibilities: Lee or See.
250 This name is much obliterated by the water stain. The surname seems to be a short
one. The given name? Perhaps Eliza or Eliz.
251 This is at the spot of the water stain. Surname could possibly be Leary.
256 Country going to: Canada.
328 Incorrectly identified as a male.
