Transcriber's notes:

*  The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the
   original recorder; or a clarification by the transcriber.

?  The use of a ? indicates a letter that could not be 
   deciphered, due to the quality of the original document.

^  The use of a caret ^ indicates the following letters in
   that word are superscripted.

*  The column "Died on the Voyage" and the sub-column "Months"
   have no entries; therefore these columns are omitted.

*  Captain: Surname may be Grahame

*  Collector of Customs (in the sworn statement): Name is 
   indecipherable. It may end with the abbreviation "DC" 
   which probably stands for "Deputy Collector"

Passenger #21 - First letter looks like a cursive small "b";
                the 7th letter looks like "f" which, I believe, 
                is a "leading s" of the duo "ss"

                The tail of the 'y' from the name above extends
