SS Gellert
I, Edmund Christian Kopff, Master of the S.S. Gellert, do solemnly, sincerely and truly swear that the following List or Manifest, subscribed by me, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs of the Collection District of New York, is a full and perfect list of all the passengers taken on board of the said Gellert at Hamburg from which port said Gellert has now arrived; and that on said list is truly designated the age, the sex and the occupation of each of said passengers, the location of the compartments or space of the said vessel occupied by each during the passage, the country of citizenship of each, and also the destination or location intended by each, and that said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of said passengers who have died on said voyage, and the names and ages of those who died; also of the pieces of baggage of each, also a true statement so far as can be ascertained with reference to the intention of each alien passenger, as to a protracted sojourn in this country.
Sworn to this 7 July 1884, [signature is indecipherable]
So help me God, E Koppf, before me
List or Manifest Of ALL THE PASSENGERS taken on board the Gellert whereof E. C. Kopff is Master, from Hamburg, burthen 2350,53 tons
Columns represent: Passenger number, Names, Age (years, months), Gender, Occupation, Country of Citizenship, Intended Destination, Compartment Location/Space, Number of pieces of baggage, the country in which they intend to become inhabitants. The column for Intended Destination has been omitted in this transcription because all passengers are listed with the U.S. as their destination. A number of passengers were designated as "transient." These are cited at the end of this list in the transcriber's notes. Except for the final 18 passengers traveling in cabin, all others were travelling in steerage.
