Transcriber's notes:

The ship departed from Nassau, N.P., Bahamas.  N.P. is the abbreviation 
for New Providence which is the name of the island on which the city of 
Nassau is located.

In the sworn statement, the captain's name is spelled two 
ways, once as Appegarth and once as Applegarth when he 
signed the statement.

The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not 
be read accurately.

There was no occupation listed for either of the passengers.

There were no deaths on this voyage so I've eliminated 
the Death column.

Passengers were not numbered on the original manifest.
