Transcriber's notes:

There were no deaths on this voyage, therefore, I have eliminated 
the Death column.

Nothin was written in the column for the part of the vessel occupied 
by the passengers, therefore, I have eliminated this column.

On the original manifest, the passengers were not numbered.  I have 
numbered them here for ease in referring to the transcriber's notes.

The following notes are listed by passenger number:

  1 Gilbert r. Dissel - His middle initial is transcribed as 
    written - no capital letter.
 11 Mrs. Schrorder - The handwriting on this manifest is very clear 
    and I believe the recorder just misspelled the name Schroeder.
