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, but he signed it at the end which would indicate a complete
manifest.
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.
