Transcriber's Notes:

The quality of the original manifest is poor and in some cases, impossible to read or 
make out the letters in the names of persons, ages, occupations and locations.  I have 
tried to make notes but for a large number of ? marks used, the reason would be that of 
the poor quality of the original document.

The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.

The use of a ? indicates a word of letters that could not be read, due to quality of 
original document.

For spacing reasons, when the passengers were noted as Steerage Forward or Steerage Aft, 
I have omitted the word Steerage and entered only Forward or Aft.

Passengers 458-475 were traveling in Saloon Cabin but for spacing reasons, I omitted the
word Saloon.
