Transcriber's Notes:
     
* The use of an * indicates anomission 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 the original document.
* The column for "Occupation" was removed due to all passengers being farmers.
* The column "Country to which they belong" was removed due to all the passengers 
  originating in Ireland.
* The column "Country which they intend to inhabit" was removed due to all the 
  passengers intending to inhabit the United States.

  deaths during the voyage.  These will be recorded in the transcribers notes.
