Transcriber' s Notes:

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

The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to 
quality of original document.

There were no deaths on this passage, therefore the death column has been 
eliminated.

*The word Passenger is spelled Passsenger on this printed form
*The term steerage was given its own line, as if the term applied to everyone 
 except John Gratton.
?Looks like Jno (John?)
