Transcriber's Notes:
* The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to 
  quality of original document.
* two columns were eliminated in this transcription as both were left blank
  Country of which it is their intention to become inhabitants
  Number and Names of Passengers who have died on the Voyage  

Passenger Notes:
* passenger 2: the second initial could be J or S, looks much like the J beside and 
  above it, only it forms a closed shape, like a tall O
* passenger 7: the first letter of this name was partially uncopied, so if it's an A 
  it looks like Amella, probably meaning Amelia. The first letter could also be an S, 
  but the remaining letters wouldn't form a recognizable name
