Transcriber's Notes:    

* Captain's statement, paragraph 1: space left following the final word ("from"), 
  apparently for a port of origin or other information to be written in, is not 
  filled in.
* List description, paragraph 1: space left following the final word ("from"), 
  apparently meant for information to be written in, is not filled in.
* Ship weight ("burthen"): after the whole number of tons are two numbers above and 
  below a horizontal line, as in a fraction.  Shown above as "13/95", although it is 
  not clear why such a fraction would appear in this place.
* Passenger #1, last two columns: countries shown apply to all passengers in list.
* Passenger #15: line is mostly obscured by what looks like a mend to the original.  
  Name completely obscured; age half obscured but probably 5; sex is legible; no entry 
  visible in other columns.
* Passenger #27: probably "Warehouseman".
