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 the passengers consecutively, even though they are not 
  numbered in the original manifest.

  The entries "United States" and "Great Britain" in the native country and destination
  country columns are shortened to "U. States" and "Gt Britain" for formatting reasons.


 41      Surname appears to be either "Dunkwater" or "Dunkwatee".
 44      Surname is either "Kimter" or "Kimber".
 62      An ink blot partially obscures the passenger's Occupation rendering it 
         undecipherable.
 70      Surname is either "Stonbuck" or "Starbuck".
105-106  Surname appears to be either "Ewood" or "Erwood".
108      Passenger has the masculine given name "Jos" and Occupation "Banker", yet Sex
         is recorded as "Female", perhaps a recording error.
110      Passenger has the masculine given name "Robert" and Occupation "Merchant", yet
         Sex is recorded as "Female", perhaps a recording error.
122      Passenger's Occupation is not clearly written and cannot be deciphered with
         certainty.  Occupation might possibly be "Buyer".
