Transcriber's Notes:
Question marks were used when the letters could not be determined.
* Passengers numbered 1 through 5 on this list are believed to be ancestors
* 1 and 30 have the name Michael spelled as the recorder entered them
* 16 and 59 appear to have been entered between the last line and the edge
of the page, resulting in illegibility due both to wear and to the limits
of the microfilming process.

This passenger list was obtained from the archives of the state of Massachusetts.
While the information on the cards for passengers #1-5 was present on NARA'a
INDEX film cards, the passenger list for the arrival of this ship at the date
and time indicated on NARA's PASSENGER LIST film was missing. It appears that
the Massachusetts record may have been copied in an abbreviated format from the
federal records prior to NARA's filming of the lists, and the list was misplaced.
The state format used only the number, name, age, and where born columns. The
recorder used ditto marks when repeating names, but did not use them in the
"where born" columns. The state used a two column format. Numbers 1-16 were in
a left column, 17-59 occupied all of a right column, and 60-63 were on another
page at the top of a left column. The three entries of St. John each appeared
at the start of a column, leaving the meaning of the blanks in the "Where Born"
column uncertain. No attempt was made to copy the Captain's sworn statement at
the beginning. This list began with the following information: "H 17" (the
unique passenger list number assigned), "April 8, 1862; Steamer Forest City
from St. John."
The format they followed entered the name of each captain at the end of the list:
"63 Captain Field."
