Transcriber's Notes:
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original
recorder not the transcriber, or an entry to which the transcriber
has made specific notes which may be helpful.
The use of a ? indicates a letter or words that cannot be read due to
the quality of the original document.
The column headed "Sex" had designations of either "maschio" or "femmine".
Maschio translates to male and was shortened to "M" on this list.
Femmine translates to female and was shortened to "F" on this list.
The column headed "Calling" (Occupation) was originally written in Italian.
At the beginning of the list, the original writer went back and crossed
out the Italian and wrote the occupation in English. At a further point
he stopped and left the remainder in Italian. Those written in Italian
will be translated below in Transcriber's Notes.
The column headed "The Country of which they are Citizens" was eliminated.
"Italiano" was written for all passengers except passengers whose
notation read "Gerusalemme" (English translation - "Jerusalem") or "Stati
Uniti (English translation - United States).
The column headed Intended Destination or Location", many cities are
phonetically spelled, like Brouolyn for Brooklyn, NY. Filadelfia for
Philadelphia, and Pisburga for Pittsburg, PA. San Louis is Italian for
Saint Louis.
The column headed "Transient or on Transit or Intending Protracted
Sojourn" was eliminated. "Immigrant" was written for all passengers.
The column headed "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated. The entire
column was too dark to determine if anything at all had been recorded.
?? in "List of Manifest" final statement: "Naples ?? (two letters that
looks like "IC" - Naples is a city in the region of Campania - could be
abbreviation for "Italy, Campania"??)"
