Transcriber's Notes:
There were no deaths indicated on the list, therefore the column Died on the
voyage was eliminated.

transcriber or is used to call your attention to additional information in the
Transcriber's Notes below.
The ? indicates letters or words that cannot be read due to the quality of the
original document.
#1 Initial of first name cannot be deciphered; only the bottom part of the letter
is visible, which curves to the left in a loop. The u in the last name appears to
