Transcriber's Notes:      

 * There are no entries in the Died on the Voyage column, only the Captain's signature.
 * The Captain spelled where he was from 'Havie' in both places.
 * Passenger #6 Doctor was spelled Docter.
 * Passenger #7 Looks like he wrote MrB then marked a J or an S between those letters,
   he could have been changing Mr. to Mrs.
 * Passenger #8 Philad then a squiggle line possibly Philadelphia.
   Mrs was written, capital M with rs raised and underlined.
 * Passenger #9 3 was crossed out in the year column and 6 added to the month column.
 * He could have been changing that to 6 years rather than 6 months.
