Transcriber's Notes:  

A question mark indicates material that was indecipherable; an asterisk
indicates further information in the Passenger Notes; a ^ indicates
superscript text.

The sworn statement is so faded that it is impossible to determine the
captain's name or further information that is usually found therein.

This ship is called Admiral Browning on the cover page, but on the
manifest it is called Admiral Brommy, named after a famous German admiral.
