Transcriber's Notes:
The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription as there
were no deaths on this passage.
The original lister did not number the passengers and did not provide a recapitulation
at the end of the Manifest, but it appears to be complete.
An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which further
explains the entry.
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
the letter/letters may be.
15 and 16 Surname: Lehleiter, Schleiter.
17 Given name: Possibly Almer, Alvin. There is no sex indicated through a ditto or
otherwise. The same is true for #18, but it presumed from his name that this
passenger is a male.
