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.

*  Written above the column for "place occupied on the ship"
   is: "On the First, Second and Third decks aloft the wheels". 
   So I will simply type in "aloft" for place where the
   passengers were carried.

*  Written on the "place occupied on the ship" column beside
   passenger number 167 is "between the first and second 
   and second and third decks forward of the wheel.  I
   will call this the "forward" section.

*  The word Tailer has been recorded as written on the 
   manifest.  I think it may need to be written as taylor.

Passenger # 97 - Mary E listed as a Male.
Passenger #204 - died Dec 2, 1863 of consumption.
