Transcriber's Notes:

  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that cannot be transcribed 
  definitely.

  An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the 
  manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader should refer.

  The designation "Am Schr Nelly" in the Captain's sworn statement at the 
  beginning of the manifest likely implies that the Schooner Nelly is of
  American ownership or registry.
