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.
The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not
numbered in the original manifest.
The entry "United States America" in the destination country column is shortened
to "U. States" for formatting reasons. "Male" and "Female" in the Sex column are
shortened to "M" and "F" for the same reason.
4 A notation associated with this infant passenger states that he "Died 30 March".
The cause of death is not recorded on the manifest.
5 Surname is possibly "Deni", "Dem" or "Dim".
9 There is an umlaut above the "o" in surname "Prohl".
