Transcriber's Notes:
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to the quality of the
original document.
This manifest is a pre-printed form with the heading that reads:
"Passenger List, New York, Havana & Mexican Mail Steam Ship Line."
* Column seven, died on the Voyage, has been eliminated because it's void of notation.
* The signature of the port collector is illegible. The original recorder abbreviated
February as "Feby" on the sworn statement.
14 through 17: The occupation column was left free of notation for these four passengers.
