Transcriber's Notes:
An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which 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.
A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name or word. The original lister
showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.
The column, "Died on the voyage" was eliminated from this transcription as there were no deaths
on this passage.
The original lister did not number the passengers, but it appears to be a complete manifest.
19 The given name appears to be masculine; however the passenger is listed as feamle. Should
the name be Hendrike or Hendrika?
23 The given name appears to be masculine; however the passenger is listed as female. Should
the name be Wilhelmina?
