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.

There is a Cardenas in Mexico, Nicaragua, and Cuba.  There is also a Cardenas Bay in Cuba.  
It is possible this is the city in Cuba.    

1  This passenger died on the voyage, but no date was recorded.
