Transcriber's Notes:

* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder not the
  transcriber, or is used to call attention to additional information in the
  transcriber notes.

  Question marks replace illegible information or letters.

  The country of which they are citizens column has been omitted here because
  all passengers except number 85 were listed as citizens of Ireland.
  Passenger 85 is a citizen of the United States.

  The Date and cause of death heading has been crossed out and replaced with
  Last Town of Abode.

  Passengers with an asterisk in the Number of pieces of baggage column are
  indicated on the list as sharing baggage with the passenger above them with a
  number in the column.

  Superscripted letters are indicated by a preceding ^.

  There is a note on the last page "Passengers marked thus + cannot read or
  write."  Cabin passengers may not have been assessed because steerage
  children and infants are marked.

11    A single name is entered on this line.
12-14 There is a dark mark that obscures most of the name of the Last Town of
      Abode on line 12. The remaining lines have ditto marks.  What appears to
      be Cl is visible suggesting the entry might be Clare.
40    Surname is O'Arcy or O'Arey.
50    Middle initial is either I or J.
58    First name looks like Ellan but could be Ellen.
85    Is a citizen of the United States.
