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.
* A series of dots indicates illegible letters due to damage to the manifest, too dark or
too light.
1307: 4/0 is written in the "country in which they severally belong" coloumn, the significance
of these numbers is not clear. The numbers might indicate pieces of baggage of different
kinds.
1309-1312: nothing is legible for passenger 1309 due to damage to the manifest. Passengers 1310
& 1311 have the same last name as passenger 1309, shown by ditto marks. The last name
could possibly be Carlson as well.
It seems that the age for passenger 1309 is a single digit.
1314: 2/1 is written in the "country in which they severally belong" coloumn, the significance
of these numbers is not clear. The numbers might indicate pieces of baggage of different
kinds.
1325: a Umlaut in first name.
1330: 18/5 is written in the "country in which they severally belong" coloumn, the significance
of these numbers is not clear. The numbers might indicate pieces of baggage of different
kinds. Engstrom is spelled with o Umlaut.
1333: 2/1 is written in the "country in which they severally belong" coloumn, the significance
of these numbers is not clear. The numbers might indicate pieces of baggage of different
kinds.
1336: 3/0 is written in the "country in which they severally belong" coloumn, the significance
of these numbers is not clear. The numbers might indicate pieces of baggage of different
kinds.
