SS Rhein
I, H. Winter, Master of the SS Rhein do solemnly, sincerely and truly swear that the following List or Manifest, subscribed by me, and now delivered to the Collector of the Customs for the District of New York contains to the best of my knowledge and belief, a just and true account of all the passengers taken on board the said vessel at Bremen and that the said vessel has now arrived and that on said list is truly designated the age, the sex, and the part of the vessel occupied by each during the passage; the country to whihc each belongs and also the country of which it is intended by each to inhabit. This Manifest truly sets forth the Number of said passengers who have died on said voyage, and the names and ages of those who died. Sworn to this 21st Mar. 1881 H. Winter, Captain Before me ??? (Name of Collector indecipherable)
List or Manifest of all the passengers taken on board the SS Rhein whereof H. Winter is Master from Bremen, burthen ?? tons.
Since all passengers intended to be inhabitants of the U.S., this column has been omitted in this list. There were no deaths (and only one birth, see passenger #526), so these columns have also been omitted in this list.
