Transcriber's Notes:

?  The use of the question mark(?) indicates the film was too light to read.

*  The use of an asterisk(*) indicateds an omission or error made by the
   original recorder

^  The use of the carot(^) indicates the subsequent letter was raised.

*  The last line of the declaration made by the Captain was not signed nor
   filled in.

*  The areas left blank in the table above were blank on the manifest. For
   instance passenger # 37 sex.

*  There were no deaths on the voyage so that column was omitted.


Passenger Notes:

#59 - appears to be traveling with number 58 but the last letters of the surname
      are different.
