 * The passenger number column was not on the original report but was added by the transcriber
   for ease of reference.
 * Laborer was listed as the occupation of all passengers although it seems unlikely that a 
   child age 2 would be a laborer.

 * 1 The Name Philip McCand may possibly be Philip McCanel
