Transcriber's Notes:
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to the quality
of original document or handwriting. There are notes below to indicate possibilities
for the unknown letters.
An * is used to call your attention to additional information in the Transcriber's
Notes below.
The original manifest had a column for "Date and cause of death", but there were no
deaths recorded on the manifest, so that column has been eliminated.
The columns for "Native Country" and "Location of compartment or space occupied" were
not used until passenger 35. Passengers 35 through 87 occupied the forward cabin and
the column for "Location of compartment or space occupied" has been eliminated.
Passenger Notes:
1,2,3 & 4 - are bracketed together.
