Transcriber's Notes:
The use of an * indicates an ommission or error made by the original
recorder.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due
to the quality of original document.
There are no births or deaths recorded for this voyage, so that column
has been omitted.
Under the column for occupations, I believe "Mcht" stands for Merchant.
The following abbreviations for names are present:
Ant probably for Anthony or Antonio
Chs probably for Charles
Geo probably for George
Jas probably for James
Jos probably for Joseph or Josephine
Wm probably for William
Passenger numbers have been added for ease in referencing.
12 Jos. L. Stev?ins-Second vowel of last name could be an "e" or an "i".
35 H.A. Cowper-In the column for Country to which..., the original entry
"Great Britain" is crossed over and "England" written above it.
62 A?. Toneti- Second letter in first name is unclear, could be an "m".
64 Piedad Bello is listed as male, but Piedad is a woman's name,
this could be an error by the original recorder.
70-74 Three passengers are listed as Siegrist and two as Seigrist, this
could be an error by the original recorder.
79 J. Mor?sca- Second vowel of last name could be an "a" or an "o".
