Transcriber's Notes:
     
* indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.

? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to quality of original
  document.

^ indicates the subsequent letter was raised.

* The column labeled "Died on the voyage" was all blank.

* There was quite a bit of missing and inconsistent information in the
  occupation column. Many occupations were left blank.  Some occupations were
  "dittoed" from the previous passenger.  And, several children, even infants,
  had an occupation.

* The captains name cannot be read.  It looks like Harnmom.  Other than the 1st
  letter, no other letters extend above or below the line.
