Transcriber's Notes:
The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription as there
were no deaths on this passage.
The original lister numbered the passengers and signed the document at the end. It
appears to be a complete manifest.
An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which
further explains the entry.
A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the quality
of the document. Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's Notes of what
the letter/letters may be.
