Transcriber's Notes:

* An asterisk indicates the original recorder made an omission or error, or is used by the transcriber
  to call your attention to additional information below in these transcriber's notes. 

* There was no occupation listed for the passenger, therefore the occupation column has been eliminated.

* There were no deaths on this voyage, therefore the death column has been eliminated.

* Unless otherwise explained in these transcriber's notes, information has been transcribed as seen,
  regardless of the spelling, abbreviations or capitalization used on the manifest by the recorder.

* In the ship's name, "Sch" is probably an abbreviation for Schooner.

* The abbreviation "& c" following the port of departure Key West may mean et cetera; what "Key West
  et cetera" would mean in the context of this voyage is unknown.

* The manifest did not contain any passenger number; the number has been added by the transcriber. 


1: Eliza Young was the only passenger on this voyage. She may have been related to the captain (whose name
   is Young) but any such relationship is not stated on the manifest.
