Transcriber's Notes:     

* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not
  the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information
  in the transcriber's notes.

? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
  condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.

^ Indicates letters are omitted and the following letter is superscripted.
 
These passengers were numbered by the transcriber, not on the original film.
All passengers are noted as occupying the "First Cabin," so the "Accommodation" 
column has been omitted. No entry was made for any passenger in the column "Country 
which they intend to inhabit" so this column has also been omitted. No one died on 
the voyage so this column has also been omitted.

 4 - First name initial is illegible.
31 - Second number of age is illegible.
44 & 45 - Occupation is completely illegible for both and the country of #45 is also.
48 - Occupation is completely illegible.
49 - Second number of age is illegible.
53 thru 60 - The country is completely illegible.
62 - This surname may stand for the word "colored" in parenthesis "()" and not a surname at all.
66 - The country is completely illegible.
