Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed
with certainty.
An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the
manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader should refer.
A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is superscripted.
The transcriber numbers all the passengers consecutively 1 through 496, even
though the recorder of the original manifest numbered the steerage passengers from
Liverpool 1 through 354, and the steerage passengers from Queenstown 1 through 130,
and the cabin passenger 1-12.
An "a" entered in place of a Passenger's Age means he or she is an adult who
either didn't know or didn't wish to diclose his/her Age. A "c" entered in place
of a Passenger's Age indicates a child whose Age is unknown or wasn't disclosed.
"Male" and "Female" in the Sex column are shortened to "M" and "F" for formatting
reasons.
The Occupation of every adult male in steerage class is listed as "Lab^r". While no
doubt many passengers were Labourers, it challenges the imagination to believe that
not one of these more than 400 passengers is a "Farmer", "Clerk", "Miner" or other
occupation common to immigrants. Therefore, it is the transcriber's opinion that the
recorded passenger Occupations should be viewed with some skepticism.
The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates a passenger's Occupation, such as
"Inf^t" for Infant, "Mat^n" for Matron, "Spinst" or "Spins" for Spinster, and "Lab^r"
for Laborer.
9-10 Given names of these two children are partially obscured by damage to the manifest
and cannot be deciphered with certainty, but the first child's name might
possibly be "James".
16 Surname appears to be either "Colvey" or "Holvey".
46-47 Surname is recorded as "Mosses", but might possibly be "Moses".
48-50 Surname appears to be either "Macufea" or "Macufca".
111-117 Surname is possibly "Rennt" or "Reunt".
141 Surname appears to be either "Sentz" or "Seutz".
153 The recorder of the manifest appears to have mistakenly assigned the number 153
to two different passengers. The transcriber transcribes the passenger numbers
as assigned by the recorder.
158 Surname is possibly "Hameck" or "Harneck".
159-160 Surname is possibly "Klinz" or "Kluz".
162 Surname is possibly "Bick", "Beck" and "Biek".
163 Surname is possibly "Kanzler" or "Kanzer".
188-190 Damage to the manifest obscures the last letter or letters of surname. Surname
is possibly "Scipper" or "Scippen".
199 Surname appears to be either "Weeseuer" or "Weesener".
