The departure port is identified as simply Panama. Research indicates this is probably Panama City. The pages on this film are not numbered so finding a particular ship can be difficult. However, There appears to be a system of numbering the manifests. These numbers are included in the identification of the film and reel numbers below. The following columns had no entries: No of Certificate, Height, Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification, If accredited oficers of Chinese Government, state facts.
