Transcriber's Notes:
* This list was not numbered, numbers were added for transcription.
* The column, "Country of which it is their intention to become inhabitants",
has "United States" written in this column; the notation is written under a
horizontal line at passenger 13. It is unclear whether this line intendes to
demarcate the top passengers from those below, or whether all passengers on
this ship were intending to become inhabitants of the United States.
* The column, "Number and Names of Passengers who have died on the voyage",
was blank and is not included in this transcription.
* "Do" as appearing in passengers 6, 7, 9, 10 12 and 22 means "ditto", and generally
refers to the passenger listed above this notation.
* Passenger #4's surname could be Nelson.
* Passenger #30's age is entered on the original manuscript as 10 months.
* The nationality of passengers 2 - 14 is indicated with a bracket;
the notation "Ireland" is written vertically in the column.
* The nationality of passengers 15 - 30 is indicated with a bracket also;
the notation "Great Britain" is written vertically in this column.
