Transcriber's Notes:

The writer of the list sometimes used small letters rather than capital 
letters at the beginning of names. The names are transcribed as written.

3 deaths on voyage

Locations and occupations are spelled as written.

 75 sex written as 'f' but appears to be male
 94 unable to read due to quality of film. 
105 this letter is a small letter
131 could be Kunradt 
135 the last letter is difficult but I think it is x
