Transcriber's Notes:  

A question mark indicates material that was indecipherable.
An asterisk indicates further information in the Passenger Notes. 
A caret (^) indicates superscript text.

The writer of this list uses ditto marks in some instances and a line with a
flourish at the beginning of it which seems to stand in for ditto marks; I
have interpreted them as such.

For the passenger count discrepancy, see note for passengers 38/39.

4-5        Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Mueller.
26         Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Mueller.
33-37      Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Muendheim.
38/39      The name "Barbara" without any number is entered between these two entries,
           then crossed off and no further information is found for this entry; and,
           from this point onward the original numbering of the list is scrambled.
47         Surname has an umlauted "a" so may be Baehr.
60         Surname may have an umlauted "a" so may be Schaefer.
61         Name may be Willenbarg.
79         Note in far right column says:  Died on the 19th of July.
87         Name may be Distel.
88         Surname has been overwritten so it is difficult to decipher. Looks like it
           may be Hasch, Hooth, Hooch, or Hoach.
104        Surname has an umlauted "a" so may be Gaertner.
128        Surname may have an umlauted "o" so may be Schtoer.
136        Last letters of surname unclear--looks like Alschtau, Alschwee or Alschweer possibly.
*          Captain's name has an umlauted "a" so it is Gärdes.
