Transcriber's notes:
In the Column "The country in which they intend to become
inhabitants," the Captain has written U States and made a
curvy line all the way down. Meaning that all intended to
go to the United states so I am eliminating that column.
There were no deaths reported so will eliminate that column.
In the column listed as Part of the vessel occupied by each
passenger during the voyage will be eliminated as the
Captain did not fill this in.
The occupation "Mercht" has been written this way meaning
Merchant
#4 This could also be Banailhet
#5 The "s" is written higher representing Charles
National Archives and Records Administration, Film #237, Reel
#159, List 11.
