Transcriber's notes:

*  An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original 
   recorder, not the transcriber, or is used to call your attention
   to additional information in the transcriber's notes.

?  Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due
   to the condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original
   recorder

*  All passengers' intended destination was listed as the United 
   States of America, so that column has been eliminated.

*  Two passengers died on the voyage.  That column has been eliminated 
   and the information is listed in the transcriber's notes.

*  The last column lists a city or area which the original recorder 
   added to the preprinted manifest. There is nothing to indicate 
   the meaning of these places.

*  The original recorder often listed baggage per family or group, 
   and the transcriber has listed the baggage amount at the 
   beginning of each family or group.  '0' has been used in places 
   where the original transcriber drew a line through the baggage 
   amount. There is nothing to indicate what the line actually meant.

*  Passenger number 1 was the only passenger listed in First Cabin.
   Passengers numbered 2 through 42 were listed in Second Cabin.
   Passengers 43 through 907 were listed in Steerage. 
   The original recorder also used letters (A, B, or C) designating
   the localities of compartment or space in steerage for each
   family or group. 

*  In some instances the original recorder drew a horizontal line 
   instead of using the term transient, in transit, or intending 
   protracted sojourn. There is no mentioned meaning for the 
   lines, so the area has been left unmarked. 

*  Intending Protracted Sojourn has been abbreviated IPS to
   conserve space.
