Transcriber's Notes:
Most likely the captain is George Siddons Murray as he was the captain on other
voyages of this vessel.
The use of an * indicates a problem with the information in the manifest.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to
quality of the original document.
The use of an apostrophe ' indicates the subsequent letter or letters were
superscript.
The sworn statement on this list was largely too dark to read, so a statement
was copied from another ship of the same year and port. The captain's name was
from his signature at the bottom of the list.
The last column on the list appears to be "Protracted Sojourn" for all the
passengers, so that column has been eliminated.
