Transcriber's Notes:

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

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

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

*  All passengers are coming from US and going back to US so those 2 columns
   have been omitted.

*  Under occupation all passengers up to # 95 are listed as Gentleman, and
   everyone after is listed as Laborers.
