Transcriber's Notes:

*  Passengers 587 through 708 were steerage passengers.
*  Passengers 709 through 763 were cabin passengers.
*  The recorder listed steerage passengers by first and last name
   in the log but cabin passengers were listed by last name first,
   then title, then initials of the passengers. For consistency,
   all passengers were listed with the first name followed by the
   last.
*  The occupations of all of the male cabin passengers were Gent
   (short for Gentleman).  This was done for all the male
   passengers whether they were a Captain as in the case of
   passengers 748 and 757 or a title of doctor as in the case of
   passenger 756.

*  The use of an * indicates a possible error as written by the
   original recorder.  Examples are as follows:

Passenger  602  Written as Elen by recorder but could possibly be
                Ellen.
Passenger  613  listed as Alfrid could possibly be Alfred
Passengers 614, 620, and 622 listed as female, however, the name
                is usually associated with the male gender.
Pasenger   646  listed as child in the occupation column but age
                listed was 25.  Possibly a Labourer since balance
                of page was lab.
Passenger  689  Occupation looks like lawer (Possible mispelling
                of lawyer?)
Passenger  738  listed as being from England, yet his wife and
                son are listed as being from United States.
                This may or may not be a mistake.

?  The use of a ? indicates letters that could not be read due
   to the handwriting of the original recorder. Example are as
   follows:

Passenger  591  Could possibly be Jan G.
Passenger  598  Could possibly be Emil (usually associated with
                the male gender).
Passenger  620  Could be Jobau.
Passenger  646  Could be Bobaur
Passenger  652  Could be Rud but I think that it looks more
                like Reed
Passenger  654  Could be Elucl.  The way it is written it is
                difficult to read.
Passenger  692  Could be E. F. Wood
Passengers 673, 674 & 675 spelled Timmins by recorder.  Could
                possibly be Timmons.
Passenger  711  could be Bonzgreu
Passenger  725  could be G. A.
Passenger  737  could be Stony.
