Transcriber's notes:
* The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the
original recorder; or a clarification by the transcriber.
* The column "Died on the Voyage" and the sub-column "Months"
have no entries; therefore these columns are omitted.
* Captain: Signature given name is Shubael; in the statement
where the name may have been filled in by someone else, it
is written Shubel
* Collector of Customs (in the sworn statement): Name is
indecipherable. It may end with the abbreviation *DC* which
probably stands for "Deputy Collector*
