Transcriber's Notes:
*Most likely the captain is George Siddons Murray as he was the captain on other
voyages of this vessel.
All passengers had dittos marks under the column Projected Sojourn, this column
has been eliminated.
Sworn statement of captain has been taken from another ship sailing the same
year and changed to fit SS Alaska. Original manifest statement was too dark
to read.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to quality
of original document.
240 - Last name Gatta??? - letter after second a goes below the line,
possible g or q.
245 - First name begins with either I or J.
250 - Last name, Ke????, third letter possibly r or s, next two go above
