Transcribed by Tom Stiglmayer
and Donated to the
Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild
It is believed that this transcription only lists those who disembarked in Fremantle, 
since the ship carried hundreds more passengers. 
The source was most likely the records in the National Archives of Australia's Perth collection.
