Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed
definitely.
A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is
superscripted.
The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not
numbered in the original manifest.
The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates given names by writing the first
few letters of the name, then skipping letters and then writing the final
letter as superscripted. In these cases, the transcriber uses the symbol (^)
to indicate that the following letter is superscripted, i.e., Tho^s for Thomas
and W^m for William.
3 Surname is very faint and impossible to decipher with certainty, but name is
possibly "Farren".
4 Surname is very faint and impossible to decipher with certainty, but name is
possibly "Farren".
