Transcriber's Notes:     
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.

The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to 
quality of original document.

There were no deaths on this voyage; therefore the death column has been
eliminated.

* The fourth letter of the captain's first name as seen in the first signature
  could be an i; or, the third letter may be a "b", followed by "n"; the letter
  after the second "i" could be l or t; the last letter extends below the line;
  it is possible that there is a final r, or it may be just a flourish. Thus, 
  the name could be read in several ways, none of which are obvious first names: 
  Elliniiljr; Elbnilyr; Ellinityr; etc. However, the second signature looks 
  more like Elbviely or Elliviely.

His surname could be either Wiswell or Wiswall.

* The spelling of Marseilles is rendered as Marisells.

Passenger Notes:
*1 The word in the column for "sex" is neither male nor female; it looks like
   Light or Lytt
