Transcriber's Notes:     
 *Passenger #2 Chinese names tend to follow pattern of writing family 
  name before given name, thus Soy is possibly the surname of this 
  passenger. United States is missing letter 's'.

  List does not specify which passenger boarded in Hong Kong nor which 
  passenger boarded in Yokohama. 

  List does not specify which passenger had steerage or saloon 
  accommodation.
