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. * Occupations were liated vertically as "mechanics, farmers and tradesmen" so this column is not shown. * All passengers were from Ireland and intended to reside in the United States so these columns are not shown.
