Ship Metropolis
I, John G.W. Trask do solemnly, sincerely and truly swear that the following List or Manifest of Passengers, subscribed with my name, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs for the District of New York, contains, to the best of my knowledge and belief, a just and true account of all the Passengers received on board the Ship Metropolis whereof I am Master, from Havre
Sworn to this 4 October 1854. So help me God, before me.
Before me J.A. Osborn
List or Manifest Of ALL THE PASSENGERS taken on board the Ship Metropolis whereof John W. Trask is Master, from Havre burthen 964 tons.
Columns represent: Passenger number, Names, Age (years,months) Sex, Occupation, the Country to which they severally belong, the country in which they intend to become inhabitants (which column has been omitted in this list because all passengers were listed as destined for the United States). The column for occupation has also been omitted because all (including women and children were listed as Farmers!)

Transcriber's notes:
* The writer of this list enters infants ages as fractions,
i.e. 3/4. This has been changed to indicate months. He
also uses the French words Baviere for Bavaria and Suisse
for Swiss.
Passenger number:
2 - 7 Surname has an umlaut over the "u"
34 - 39 Surname has an umlaut over the "a"
55 - 56 Surname has an umlaut over the "u"
57 Writer makes his capital "A's" similar to an "O" so
this name may be Obras, Oleras, or Alras
75 - 80 Surname has a flourish after the final letters " t t"
which may be just that or possibly an "l" making the
name Schottl
81 Surname has an umlaut over the "o"
89 Surname has a diacritical mark over the "e"
91 Surname has an umlaut over the "a"
106 - 107 Surname has an umlaut over the "u"
108 Surname has a diacritical mark over the final "e"
111 Surname has an umlaut over the "u"
112 - 113 Surname has an umlaut over the "a"

146 Surname has an umlaut over the "u"
162 Surname has an umlaut over the "u"
163 Surname has an umlaut over the "u"
181 Because of this writer's style, the first letter of
the surname could be a "C" making the name
Cschumberlin
185 Surname has an umlaut over the"u"
190 Surname has an umlaut over the "u"
226 Surname seems to have an umlaut over the "o"

258 Surname has an umlaut over the "a"
261 Surname has an umlaut over the "o"
262 Surname may be Zenni
269 Surname difficult to decipher because of the letters
after the ha: May be Schvinghammer, Schwingharmer,
Schwinghammer or Schvingharmer
281 Given name is written as Auguste and then the final
"e" is crossed out, so the gender of the child, male,
is probably correct because August or Auguste in
French) would indicate a male name, whereas Augusta
would be a female disignation.
285 - 286 Surname has an umlaut over the "u"
300 Surname has an umlaut over the "u"
321 - 322 Surname has a diacitical mark over the "e"
