Transcriber's Notes: 
    
A question mark (?) indicates that the letter(s) was too obscure to read.

Passengers 54-62 were listed as being in cabins; no specification was made for the other passengers.

13  The middle name may be Carl, although it is very difficult to read, as it overwrites another word.  
    The passenger's sex is noted as female, but this could be a mistake.
16  Last name may be Dolich.
26  Last name may be Fiske.
27  Information is difficult to read because it was crossed out.  There is a note "remain behind in Hamburg."
29  Last name could be Rutinisk.
34  Unknown letter is obscured by a crease in the paper; it might be "r" or "n".
35  The last name could end in "sch".
36  Occupation is unclear, due to overwriting; perhaps it is "boot maker".
38  In the last name the "a" is umlauted.
48  There is an acute accent over the first "e" in "Lieare".
56,57,59,60  Last name might be Bornhold.
61  Last name is very dark and difficult to make out.
61-62  The occupation for both these passengers is very difficult to make out, but they seem to be as given."
