Transcriber's Notes:
* The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original
recorder.
* The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read,
due to quality of original document.
* I could not decipher the surname of passenger 12, but it looks like
a B followed by "oo" then a "bhr", making the name appear to be "Boobhr".
The B is the only letter I am certain of.
* I could not decipher the surname of passenger 83, but the "Gi" is clear
at the beginning as well as the "am" at the end. Third letter looks like
all the other "b"s in this record, but fourth letter looks like
a crooked "x", so name appears to be "Gibxam".
