Transcriber's notes:
* The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the
original recorder.
? The use of a ? indicates a word or letter that could not
be read, due to quality of original document.
* There were no deaths on this passage, therefore the "Date
and Cause of Death" column has been eliminated.
* In the "Number of pieces of baggage" column, in the case
of family groups, the manifest shows the group total after
the name of the head of the family and brackets the others
to indicate sharing. I have used () to indicate that
sharing after the name of each family member involved.
Passenger # 5 - Charles J. Benstead is listed quite clearly as a
"Ry Servant". I don't know the meaning of "Ry".
Passenger # 11 - John Gibson is listed as a "Gardner";
current spelling is "Gardener".
Passenger # 82 - Geo Lewis Knott's first name is abbreviated;
"Geo" stands for "George".
Passenger # 83 - James W'm Knott's middle name is abbreviated;
"W'm" stands for "William".
Passenger # 86 - This passenger's entire name is illegible, as is
his age, occupation and the number of pieces
of baggage.
Passenger # 87 - This passenger's entire name is illegible,
as is the number of pieces of baggage.
Passenger # 88 - This passenger's entire name is illegible,
as is the number of pieces of baggage.
Passenger # 89 - Katherine's surname is very faint on a
black background. It could possibly be Hamilton?;
the number of pieces of baggage is illegible.
Passenger # 90 - This passenger's entire name is illegible,
as is the number of pieces of baggage.
Passenger # 91 - Henry's surname is illegible, as is the
number of pieces of baggage.
Passenger # 92-104 - The baggage column is illegible for all
these passengers.
Passenger #129 - Jane Sandborn's surname could also be spelled
"Sandham".
