Transcriber's Notes:

  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed 
  with certainty.  

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

  The designation "Am Bark La Plata" in the Captain's sworn statement at the 
  beginning of the manifest likely implies that the Bark La Plata is of
  American ownership or registry.
