Transcriber's Notes: * An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information in the transcriber's notes. ? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder. ^ A ^ followed by a letter indicates that the letter was superscripted. * Names were transcribed as seen regardless of spelling. * Passengers where numbered by the transcribers for ease of referencing. * All passengers were male and could read and write. Last residence was Liverpool for all passengers, final destination and seaport of landing were Boston. Therefore these coloumns were eliminated.
