Bremen Bark Norma
I, J. Horstmann, Master of the Bremen Bark "Norma" do solemnly, sincerely and truly swear that the following List or Manifest, subscribed by me, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs of the Collection District is a full and perfect list of all the passengers taken on board of the said Bark at Bremen from which port said Bark has now arrived; and that on said list is truly designated the age, the sex, and country to which each belongs, and also the country of which it is intended by each to become an inhabitant; and that said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of said passengers who have died on said voyage, and the names and ages of those who died.
Sworn to, this 12 Sep 1864 J. Horstmann
List or Manifest of all the Passengers taken on board the Bremen Bark "Norma" whereof J. Horstmann is Master, from Bremen, burthen 650 tons.
Columns represent: name, age, gender, occupation, country of origin, and destination. The column for destination has been omitted in this list because it was the United States for all passengers. The column for country of origin has also been omitted because all passengers (except for those with the designation United States) were listed as being from Germany.
