Transcriber's Notes:
*The last letter of the indicated words is a superscript
character over a dot indicating abbreviation.
Note that Mr. McCORKELL did not sign his name consistently.
The passenger numbers were added by the transcriber.
The "n" character in the Age.Months column appears to be used
to indicate that no months data were provided.
There were no entries in the "died on the voyage" column.
