Transcriber notes

* Goree, WCA- could be the West Coast of Africa. There is the Isle of Goree 
off the coast of Dakar, Senegal (Africa).  NOTE: found in the Encyclopedia 
Britannica about Goree: Portuguese navigators reached Cape Verde about 1444; 
they established trading factories at the mouth of the Sénégal, on the island 
of Gorée, at Rufisque, and along the coast to the south. In the 17th century 
their power was superseded by that of the Dutch and then the French.
The Island of Goree is in the Baie (Bay) of Goree. Goree is spelled with an 
acute accent on the first e. Senegal is on the West Coast of Africa.

* Surname Rockeubach could be Rockenbach.

* There was illegible writing, after cabin, for each of the passengers
