some of this line can be seen to read: "Race of people is to be determined

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.
? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.
* There is no sworn statement from the vessel's captain on any of the pages of
the manifest that I've received.
* Entries for columns 17 through 22 were always the same-
the answers were: no, no, no, no, good, no. Therefore they where left out.
* Information recorded on the original manifest for U.S. Citizens was minimal.
This transcription contains all recorded information.
* Passengers were numbered consecutively by the transcriber for ease of referencing.
* Names were transcribed as seen.
