Transcriber's Notes:

The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription as there were 
no deaths on this passage.

The original lister did not number the passengers and did not provide a recapitulation
at the end of the Manifest.  It is a one-page manifest, but there seems to be a shadow
indicating a second page beneath; however, it may not have been filmed at NARA.

An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which 
further 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.


 5      This passenger is mistakenly identified as a Male.
14      Barkiss, Barkess.
18      Tinsart, Tinscot.
20      This name is difficult to read.  The missing letters are all on the line, a
        combination of "m", "n", "u", etc.  Simmelkein, Sounelkein, Sunmelkein - something
        similar to these?
32, 33  There could be a letter at the end of the name - Eslinger, Eslingen or simply Eslinge.
