Transcriber's Notes:
*The numbering system employed is that of the transcriber and not of the lister.
The original document consisted of two pages, each numbered 1-30. Lister used
these numbers and at times partially filled a page. Transcriber numbered
consecutively.
*Place of last residence: At bottom of manifest page: "The last country in which
alien resided with the intention of remaining as long as one year shall be the
last permanent residence regardless of length of actual residence therein"
A ? indicates letter or letters which could not be read because of the quality
of the document. The parentheses is used to add comments of transcriber and to
clarify where necessary - they were not that of the lister himself.
Passenger 548 begins the steerage passengers through to the end of the Manifest.
Beginning with Pass. 1176, all of these Steerage passengers embarked at
Queenstown, Ireland on October 23.

Second Cabin 237 Aliens 104 US Cit. 341 Total

It is worth noting that Passenger 55 was famed author W. Somerset Maugham

Correspondence 01/11/03 passengers # Lyon
I wanted to say THANK YOU, that because of Lora Lee Ament's work, I
discovered more information about my Great-Aunt Delia Conlon. Via
GOOGLE, I made a surprise discovery of the transcription while searching
on the names (Delia isn't that common). And because of Laura Lee's
thoughtful cross-referencing between Delia (1204) and Cecelia Lyons
(1191), you've uncovered yet another family link for me. My Great-Aunt's
maiden name was indeed Lyons, and while I don't know for sure, I'm fairly
certain that Frank Lyons (husband of Cecelia) must be Delia's older
brother. Delia and Cecelia are probably sisters-in-law, and they had
taken their children back to Ireland to meet their grandparents. It
certainly gives me a new insight on ship passengers and reasons for
transit, as the Titanic disaster happened only 18 months later!
