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.
*  Captain's surname is unreadable due to script and ink smears.
*  All passengers came from Great Britain and Ireland and written vertically.
*  Country to which all the passengers intended to reside is not stated so this column is not
   shown. Most likely it was the U. States.


27, 28  Surname may be Craig; first letter had been overwritten making it difficult to read.
39 - 43 Surnames may be Coad or Coall; final letter had been overwritten making it difficult
        to read.
