Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed
with certainty.
The designation "Br Bark Jonic" in the Captain's sworn statement at the
beginning of the manifest likely implies that the Bark Jonic is of British
ownership or registry.
* Although the Captain recorded the departure port as Lowanda Coast, Africa this
port is now listed as Luanda and is located on the west coast Africa and is
the capital of Angola..
