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.

*  Passenger numbers assigned by transcriber for ease of reference.
*  All passengers intended to reside in the United States so this column is not shown.


1-5  Surname spelling varied as shown mostly due to the scribes script, the correct spelling
     may be Pretto.
22   Occupation had been overwritten so it is difficult to say what it is, may be glass or
     platter.
