Transcriber's Notes:
The use of an * indicates an error or omission by the original manifest copy.
The use of ? indicates a letter or word that could not be read due to
the quality of the original document.
The manifest did not state what country the Schooner departed from.
It appears to be Jeremie, Haiti. The other places that it could be
is Jerimi, Nigeria; Jenane, Morocco or Jemime, Tunisia
The recorder did not record the sex, or occupation for this passenger.
* Passenger # 1, Could also be Rosana M. Couley
