SS Ohio
I, R. von Emster Master of the Ger. SS Ohio of Bremen do solemnly sincerely and truly swear that the annexed list, subscribed with my name, contains, to the best of my knowledge and belief, a just and true account or report of all the passengers who have been taken on board the said vessel at Bremen or any other Foreigh Port, or at sea, and brought in the said vessel into any district of the United States since her departure from the said Port of (no port entry here).
Sworn to this 5 day of April 1873 Before me, W M ?? (port authority signature indecipherable) Signed: R v Emster
Name of Vessel, Ohio Nation of do, German Name of Master, R v. Emster Port Sailed from Bremen Number of Aliens 479 Number of Citizens 13 Consignees, Mssrs, Schumacher & Co. Owners, North German Lloyd of Bremen
Alien Passengers landed at the Port of Baltimore, from the Steam Ship Ohio, R. v. Emster is Master, on the 5 day of April 1873 from Bremen
Unless otherwise noted, all passengers claimed Germany as their last legal residence or country of birth. Columns represent name, age, sex, occupation. The original document seems to have been heavily damaged, particularly obscurring the columns for gender and occupation (which were the final columns in the original document). I have included these designations only where they are clearly present on the original document. The first two passengers were probably cabin, the remainder, steerage passengers; although, only the numbering indicates this division.

Transcriber's Notes:
* When the occupation is listed, the scribe used the term "workman" which
someone later crossed off in each instance and wrote "laborer" over it.
Passengers in steerage:
#3 Occupation seems to read as roper
#5 Surname obscured by a fold or tear in the original
#8-10 Surname could be Knaake, but last letter is miniscule.
#20 Surname unreadable due to tear in original--could be
Reischnik
#30 Age is unclear could be 13 or 15
#38 Age of child is not clear, looks like 3
#40 Surname has an umlaut over the "o"
#45 Surname could be Eggenhaffer, the letter between the "h"
and the double "f" has an umlaut over it
#52 Passenger, Gerd Wilken Popken, is the great-great grandfather of
the transcriber of this list. He came to Plymouth County IA with
his youngest daughter, passenger #53, to make his home with his son,
Popke Popken, who had arrived in the U.S. earlier.
#69 Age is unclear, could be 32
#71 Third letter of surname unclear, could be "s", thus Rosthals
#76 Surname could be Fopolinski or Topolinski
#77 Surname has an umlaut over the "o"
#79-80 Given names unreadable due to tear or blot in original. #79
could be Ernestine.
#85-88 Surname could be Galt
#89 Occupation could be "casketmaker"
#95 Given name totally obliterated by paper tear. Surname's first 2
or three letters the same.
#116 Gender seems incorrect on this entry
#119 Age of infant is unclear, could be 1/2
#125 Surname could be Zipscki
#126 Given name is faded after the first two letters.
#132 Given name obscured by tear--could be Josefa.
#136 Given name has an umlaut over the second vowel and over the "o" in
the surname.
#140 Surname ends with a superscript that could be an "s" thus name
could be Seiferts
#153-154 Given names obliterated by tear in original manuscript
#169 Given name obliterated by tear in original manuscript
#171 Second digit of age not clear.
#190-194 Surname has an umlaut over the "u"
#201 Surname could be Geck
#206 Given name obliterated by tear in original manuscript
#228 Given name obliterated by tear or blot in original manuscript
#231 Occupation could be "robe" maker or "rope" maker
#243 Given name obliterated by tear in manuscript
