Transcriber's Notes:

The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder or
   comments about the look of the transcribed section.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letter(s) that could not be read, due to   
   quality of the original document.

*No number for this ship is apparent.
*First initial of ship master is unclear throughout manifest (possibly 'O' or 'C').
*Usually the word 'swear' is written in after 'sincerely and truly', but it was
 not written on this manifest.
*Occupation and last column are both blank for all passengers and have been omitted.
