Canada 2nd Cabin Transcriber's Note: A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed with certainty. An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader should refer. A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is superscripted. The entry "United States" in the native country and destination country columns is shortened to "U. States" for formatting reasons. "Male" and "Female" in the Sex column are shortened to "M" and "F" for the same reason. The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not numbered in the original manifest. An "a" entered in place of a Passenger's Age means he or she is an adult who either didn't know or didn't wish to diclose his/her Age.
