Transcriber's Notes
The pages on this film are not numbered so finding a particular ship can be difficult.
However, there appears to be a system of numbering the manifests. These numbers are
included in the identification of the film and reel numbers below.
Passengers' names and ages are followed by a stamp that varies depending on the disposition
of the passenger and which is stamped over whatever information has been entered in the columns.
Passengers allowed to land have one of the following stamps:
Landed Collectors order (blank with a month and day date written in) 1893 by
Insp's (blank for a name, in this case Grant).
Landed "I.T." Transit List followed by a number. These passengers are bound for a
further port.
Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps:
Habeas Corpus U.S.D.C. Case followed by a number. These passengers were probably allowed
to land, but not to freely enter the country.
Refused Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date).
The following columns had no entries and are not included in the table:
Height
Complexion
Color of Eyes
Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification
The Ticket No and Sex columns have been added by whomever completed the list. The
Certificate No column apparently is either the date or the number of the certificate.
Last Place of Residence is missing for passengers 1-52. Occupation is Merchant for these
passengers. Occupation is Grocer and Last Place of Residence is China for passengers 53-75.
Occupation is universally recorded as Merchant or Grocer because following the Chinese
Exclusion Act of May 6, 1882 admission was denied to all Chinese except laborers already
in the US and "students, teachers, merchants or those proceeding to the United State from
curiosity."
Blanks signify no information. Illegible information is replaced by ?.
Passengers bound for Havana are recorded as going by rail.
