Transcriber's Notes:

The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original
recorder.

* Sex of passengers was not listed for passengers in steerage.

The sworn statement originally appeared at the bottom of the 
manifest, has been moved to the top.

* #28 Steerage - ?ake, looks like it could be Jake, or Iake.
