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.
