Transcriber's notes:
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not
the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional
information in the transcriber's notes.
? The ? marks indicate letters or words that cannot be read due to the
quality of the original document.
* The sworn statement from the Port of Baltimore preceded the sworn statement
and passenger list from the Port of New York. The ship may have arrived
at New York, with some or all of the passengers disembarking, then
continued on to Baltimore. The transcriber has included both statements
by date.
* The Port of New York sworn statement was faded in places, which made some
words illegible. Parts of the statement were off the edge of the copy.
* The intended destination or location of all passengers was listed as
U.S., so that column has been eliminated.
* One passenger died on the voyage. That column has been eliminated and the
information included in the transcriber's notes.
* The Transient or in transit, or intending protracted sojourn column has
been eliminated, except for Cabin passengers. To conserve space, the
information which was recorded in this column for two steerage passengers
has been listed in the transcriber's notes.

Her details were - length 318ft x beam 40ft, clipper stem, one funnel, two masts, iron construction, single screw and a speed of 11 knots. There was accommodation for 80-1st, 120-2nd and 500-3rd class passengers. She was originally laid down as the "Europa" but was actually launched in June 1865 as the "Hermann". She sailed on her maiden voyage from Bremen to Southampton and New York on 17/12/1865. In 1872 her engines were compounded at Southampton and on 22/12/1892 she commenced her last voyage Bremen - New York. In 1893 she was sold and was scrapped in 1896.
