Transcriber's Notes:

*  An * (asterisk) indicates an error on the part of the original recorder not
   the transcriber or is used to call your attention to additional information
   in the Transcriber's Notes below. 

?  The use of a ? (question mark) indicates letters or words that could not be
   read due to the quality of the original document.

*  Captain ? P Alzerneft - Two initials preceded the surname in two places on
   this manifest. It would seem that sometimes the signature combines the first
   two initials to look like one, and the initial P is the only one consistently
   clear. The last name is  difficult to decipher and could also be Algernett or
   Algeneff.

*  There were no deaths on this voyage and that column has been eliminated.

*  The last column heading could not be identified, it had no entries, and was
   eliminated.

*  The passengers were numbered on the original file.


Passenger Notes:

#1 - Country of Citizenship is USofA which was written over another word which
     looks like it may have been "American".
#2 - Middle initial may be either H, U or W.
#3 - County of Citizenship is USofA which was written over the word Jamaica.
#5 - Last name could be Veyes. Calling for this passenger appears to be spelled
     Ingonen or Ingonin, possibly Ingineer or Engineer.
