Mangual 19 M Gentleman Porto Rico Transcriber's Notes: The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to the condition of the original document. * The entry under "Country in which...." was too faint to be read. There were no entries under the "Died on voyage" or "Part of the vessel..." columns, therefore they were eliminated. Passenger numbers added to aid with referencing.
