Transcriber's Notes
The pages on this film are not numbered so finding a particular ship can be difficult.
However, there appears to be a system of numbering the manifests. These numbers are
included in the identification of the film and reel numbers below.
Passengers' names and ages are followed by a stamp that varies depending on the disposition
of the passenger and which is stamped over whatever information has been entered in the columns.
Passengers allowed to land have one of the following stamps:
Landed Collectors order (blank with a month and day date written in) 1893 by
Insp's (blank for a name, in this case Grant). Many of these passengers have a place name written over the
stamp. Where a blank is transcribed in this column no place has been written in. Where
there is a question mark the entry is illegible.
Landed "I.T." Transit List followed by a number. These passengers are bound for a
further port.
Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps:
Habeas Corpus U.S.D.C. Case followed by a number. These passengers were probably allowed
to land, but not to freely enter the country.
Refused Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date).
The following columns had no entries and are not included in the table:
Last Place of Residence
Height
Complexion
Color of Eyes
Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification
Certificate No is replaced by Ticket No.
Occupation is universally recorded as Grocer because following the Chinese
Exclusion Act of May 6, 1882 admission was denied to all Chinese except laborers already
in the US and "students, teachers, merchants or those proceeding to the United State from
curiosity."
The total number of passengers listed in the Recapitulation differs from the number of
names on the list. Perhaps passenger 40 described as "Cabin" is not included in the total.
14-15 Fem is written in the margin. Occupation is "To join her husband."
40 Cabin is written in the Ticket No column. Chinese Consular Certificate is written in the
If accredited oficers of Chinese Government, state facts column.
70 Occupation is "with his brother #53."
