Transcriber's Notes
The pages on this film are not numbered so finding a particular ship can be difficult.
However, there appears to be a system of numbering the manifests. These numbers are
included in the identification of the film and reel numbers below.
Passengers' names and ages are followed by a stamp that varies depending on the disposition
of the passenger and which is stamped over whatever information has been entered in the columns.
Passengers allowed to land have one of the following stamps:
Landed Collectors order (blank with a month and day date written in) 1893 by
Insp's (blank for a name, in this case Grant). Many of these passengers have a place name written
over the stamp. Where a blank is transcribed in this column no place has been written in. Where
there is a question mark the entry is illegible.
Landed "I.T." Transit List followed by a number. These passengers are bound for a
further port.
Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps:
Habeas Corpus U.S.D.C. Case followed by a number. These passengers were probably allowed
to land, but not to freely enter the country.
Refused Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date).
The following columns had no entries and are not included in the table:
Height
Complexion
Color of Eyes
There are entries in the Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification
column only for the first 22 passengers. This information is transcribed in individual
passenger notes.
Where there are blanks either no infomation was entered or it was illegible. As stated
above, the information for Occupation and Last Place or Residence is stamped over and
very difficult to read.
Occupation is universally recorded as Merchant or Grocer because following the Chinese
Exclusion Act of May 6, 1882 admission was denied to all Chinese except laborers already
in the US and "students, teachers, merchants or those proceeding to the United State from
curiosity."
1-22 Below is the "Physical Marks" information. It is written over by the "If accredited
oficers of Chinese Government, state facts" information.
1 Scar on left cheek
2 Scar on left temple
3 Mole on right side of neck
4 Scar below each ?
5 Mole & small scar on left of chin
6 Scar over right cheek & small scar back of right ear
7 Small mole on left ?
8 Small long scar ? left eye
9 Large scar on left ?
10 Mole between eyebrows, small scar on nose, small scar on chin
11 Two moles front of left ear one on back of neck
12 Left ear peirced & scar on left side of neck
13 Scar on right of face & on right ear
14 Two scars back of head ?scar on left eyebrow, mole ?
15 Small scar on forehead
16 Long scar on left temple
17 Long scar on left temple, mole on chin
18 Scar on left side of head & mole on left ?
19 Mole back of left ear
20 Large mole between eyebrows
21 Marks ??
22 illegible "Physical Marks" information. Note over Certificate No "From Yoko."
145 Name could be Shee.
140-141, 145, 154-155, 159-163 Fem is written in the margin.
196 From Yokohama is written over the Certificate No.
