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. * Passenger numbers assigned by transcriber for search purpose. * All passengers came from England and intended to reside in the United States so these columns are not shown.
