Transcriber's Notes:
The recorder left the "Calling" column blank and entered the passengers' occupations
in the "The Country of which they are citizens" column. My presumption is that the
passengers' citizenship and Native Country were the same and were then entered in
the "Native Country" column.
No passengers were listed as having died during the voyage and so that column
was omitted in this transcription.
