The original lister did not number the passengers and did not provide a recapitulation at the end of the Manifest, but 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 this letter/letters may be. 13 Sturman, Struman. 19 Mattaby, Mattahy. 23 Donelly, Dohelly. Written over.
