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.

*  Top right hand part of page 1 of the manifest is not visible (down  to passenger 21);
   as a result the name of the vessel (the name may be the Quickstone Castle),
   departure port and arrival date were all  obtained from Ancestry.com

*  All passengers intended to reside in the U.S. so ths column is not shown.

*  All passengers were from Ireland except for the following:
        73  This passenger was from the U.S.
       108  This passenger was from the U.S.
       131  This passenger was from the U.S.

 45 First letter of asurname was overwritten making it difficult to read.
 75, 76 First names blacked out.
