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.

^  A ^ followed by a letter indicates that the letter was superscripted.

*  Names were transcribed as seen regardless of spelling.

*  Passengers where numbered consecutively by the transcribers for ease of referencing. 
   The manifest starts with 1 for each section, i.e. Steerage, Cabin.

 * There are 2 sections to this manifest. Most passengers are in each section, therefore
   on the manifest twice. The second section has a lot more information than the first section.
   It is not clear why this was done.
