Transcriber's notes:
There were definitely two people recording the passengers on
this manifest. Passengers 1 through 309 were recorded by one
person whose handwriting was quite good. Passengers 310
through 452 were recorded by a second person whose handwriting
was very faint in most cases and not as neatly written.
? represents letters or words that couldn't be read accurately
due to imperfections on the film or poor handwriting.
All passengers intended to inhabit the United States and to
save space I have eliminated the column pertaining to this.
The Death column has been eliminated to save space even though
there were two deaths on the voyage. Passengers 369 and 399
both died on the voyage.
The passengers were not numbered on the original manifest.
The following notes are listed by passenger number:
1 August Graf - His age is too faint to recognize.
9 Carl Ru?? - There is a dark smudge across the name,
making it impossible to read accurately. The last letter
in question extends high above the line.
10 ????rich Wagner - The dark smudge on this part of the film
makes it impossible to read the name or age accurately.
35 Gerhard Ver?seven - The letter in question extends high
above the line. There is a dark smudge covering the age,
making it impossible to read.
36 Adolf Gr?tz - The name is either Gratz or Grotz.
64 and 65 - These names, ages, and occupations are impossible
to read due to a blackened area on the film.
66 and 67 Johann and Jacob ? - The surnames and ages are
impossible to read due to a blackened area on the film.
68 Eduard Schopfer - His age cannot be read due to the blackened
area on the film.
69 70 and 71 - The ages of these passengers are covered by the
blackened area on the film.
77 and 78 Jacob and Anna Steimel - Their ages cannot be read
due to the blackened area on the film.
86 through 89 Pelzer - Their ages cannot be read due to the
blackened area on the film.
91 through 94 Fehlenberg - Their ages as well as the given
name of passenger 94 cannot be read due to the blackened
area on the film.
95 Fischer - The given name is covered by the blackened area
on the film.
96 Muller - The given name is covered by the blackened area
on the film.
112 Emil Ku?del - The letter in question doesn't fall below
or extend high above the line.
132 and 133 Gold??imer - Neither letter in question fall below
or extend high above the line.
188 An?ie Gunther - The letter in question doesn't fall below
or extend high above the line.
191 and 192 Gunther - Both passengers' given names cannot be
read due to the blackened area on the film.
193 Baumbusch - The given name cannot be read because of the
blackened area on the film.
197 Ma? Purr - The letter in question doesn't fall below or
extend high above the line.
212 Ma?? Pfennig - The first letter in question is either
N or U. The last letter in question seems to extend
somewhat higher than the other letters.
219 Ph Lieder - No age was written for this passenger.
