Transcriber's Notes:

The "Remarks relative to any who may have died or left the vessel during
the voyage" column was left blank and therefore, was eliminated.

*New Edinburgh has not been found as a port, it is mentioned as being former
name of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Correspondence: "The port of New Edinburgh could be the small village in  
Digby county Nova Scotia. There are many Robicheaus (the master/captain's 
surname) still in the area."
