Transcriber's notes:

The column "Country in which they intend to become inhabitants" was not transcribed.
It has only 4 entries which are 2 letters written large to apply to several lines each.
The entries are similar and are assumed to be the letters "US".

The column "Died on the voyage" was not transcribed.  It contains the word "none" written
sideways very large.
 
Passenger number 7 Surname looks something like Gaiaen but might be Gowen.

Passenger number 8 Surname is clearly written capital "N" and ending "able".  One or two
letters between are partly covered by a scratch on the film and the capital S in Sargent
on the line below.

Passenger number 10 occupation was Planter but crossed out.

Passengers number 11, 12, 13 occupation column says "do" for ditto.  May have been
intended to copy passenger number 10 occupation of Planter befor it was crossed out.
