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 were numbered by the transcribers for ease of referencing.
* None died during the voyage, therefore this coloumn was eliminated.
11: First letter of surname maybe "B".
29: Surname is hard to read as is occupation…the first part "ship" is clear but the last
syllable is difficult to read…maybe it means what we would call a "deckhand".
44: Forth letter of surname is hard to read.
61: Cannot read surname.
81: Occupation maybe Tuler, Julr, etc…definitively a four letter word.
