Transcriber's Notes:

The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.
The use of a ? indicates word or letter that could not be read due to the
quality of the original document.

*  Destination for all passengers is the United States and there were no deaths
   so those two columns have been eliminated.

*  All are in Steerage except the last four French passengers, who occupy
   Cabins
