Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the transcriber,
or calls attention to additional information in the transcriber notes.
The pages on this film are not numbered so finding a particular ship can be difficult.
However, there is a system of numbering the manifests that is a part of the National
Archives file system on Chinese persons. These numbers are included in the identification
of the film and reel numbers below.
The departure port mentioned on the list is New York. That on the cover sheet is simply "Panama."
Research indicates this refers to Panama City. Any ship that sailed from New York to San Francisco
went around the Horn. The Panama Canal was not yet completed.
For passengers bound for San Francisco, passengers' names and ages are followed by a stamp
that varies depending on the disposition of the passenger and which is stamped over whatever
information has been entered in the columns.
Passengers allowed to land have the following stamp:
Landed Collectors order (blank with a month and day date written in) 1894 by Insp's (blank
for a name).
Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps:
Landing Refused Habeas Corpus U.S.D.C. Case followed by a number. These passengers were
probably allowed to land, but not to freely enter the country.
Landing Refused Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date).
For passengers bound for a further destination there are two possible dispositions:
Landed "I.T." Transit List followed by a number These passengers expected to continue travel
by some other means to their destinations.
Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date)
The following columns had no entries:
No of Certificate
Height
Complexion
Color of Eyes
Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification
If accredited officers of Chinese Government, state facts
According to the National Archives branch in San Bruno, California it is possible that they have
some information on any Chinese passenger who arrived in San Francisco after 1886.
7 It is possible that the second name is Garay. All of the letters between G and y have no
lines below the line and no tall strokes.
