Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which explains the entry.
? A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the quality of the
document. Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's Notes of what the letter/
letters may be.
^ A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name or word. The original lister showed
this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.
* This ship sailed from Liverpool June 16 and from Queenstown June 17.
* Not all columns were used, especially for those who were citizens of the United States.
* The original lister did not number the passengers. This was done by the transcriber for
ease in referencing passengers.
