Transcriber's Notes:
* The use of an * indicates illegible information in that line due to writing
of original recorder or damage to the original list.
? The use of ? indicates letters that could not be read due to handwriting of
the original recorder.
* Columns eliminated:
Destination country for all passengers was the United States
There were no deaths or births on the voyage.
Part of the vessel occupied by passenger is indicated above the list of
names
* The original recorder numbered the steerage passengers from 1 - 356 and the
cabin passengers from 1 - 20. The formatter has renumbered the cabin
passengers so the entire list is consecutive.
