I, R.E. Bence, Master of the "Baltic", do solemnly, sincerely, and truly ( __blank__ ) that the following List or Manifest, subscribed by me, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs of the Collection District of the City of New York, is a full and perfect list of all the passengers taken on board the said vessel at Liverpool and Queenstown from which Port the said vessel has now arrived; and that on said list is truly designated the age, sex, and calling of each of the said passengers, the location of the compartment or space occupied by each during the passage, the country of citizenship of each, and also the destination or location intended by each; and that said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of said passengers who have died on said voyage, and the dates and causes of death, and the names and ages of those who died; also of the pieces of baggage of each; also a true statement, so far as it can be ascertained, with reference to the intention of each alien passenger as to a projected sojourn in this country. So help me God. (signed) Robt. E. Bence. Sworn to this 18 July 1884, Before me. (signed) ?????????.
List or Manifest of ALL THE PASSENGERS taken on board the Baltic whereof R.E. Bence is Master, from Liverpool, burthen 2209 tons.
Columns represent: given name and surname, age, sex, calling, the country of which they are citizens, intended destination or location, location of compartment or space occupied, number of pieces of baggage and whether a transient or in transit or intending a protracted sojourn.

Transcriber's Notes:
An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the
manifest or something that the reader should note.
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed
definitely.
The recorder of the manifest often abbreviated given names by writing the first few
letters of the name, then skipping letters and then writing the final letter as
superscripted and underlined. In these cases, the transcribers used the symbol (')
to indicate that the following letter was superscripted and underlined, i.e., Tho's
for Thomas, Eliz'th for Elizabeth, etc.
21-22 Surname appears written as "Dingnen", but the letters are poorly formed and the
transcription is not certain.
30 Given name appears to be written as "Marry" or "Many", but likely is "Mary".
45 First letter of surname appears to be "Y", but might be "G" resulting in surname
being "Yenner" or perhaps "Genner".
47 Third letter of surname appears to be "l" but might be an uncrossed "t" resulting
in the surname being "Paltinson" or "Pattinson".
59 Surname appears to be "Corbould" or "Corboned".
66 Given name is not clearly written, but appears to be either "Evan", "Esau" or "Eoan".
68 Third letter of surname is not clearly written, but might be "a" or "o" resulting in
surname being "Crane" or "Crone".
70 First letter of surname is clearly "B" but the remaining four or five letters are
faint and undecipherable. Surname might possibly be "Baily".
87 Surname is either "Eastubrook" or "Easterbrook".
89 Surname clearly begins "Wilk" followed by about four letters that are not clearly
decipherable, but appear to be "inam" or "inson" or something similar. Surname is
possibly "Wilkinam" or "Wilkinson".
91 Surname appears written as "Lymiph" but the letters are not carefully formed and
the surname might possibly be "Lymigh".
96 Surname is written as "John", but it is possible that the infant's surname is
"Morgan", the same as child passenger No. 95, although there are no ditto marks
to indicate this.
97 First few letters of surname are poorly written, but might be "Mu" or "Win". The
remaining letters are clearly "lding". Surname is possibly "Mulding".
104 First letters of surname are clearly "Magor". Last letters of surname are not
clearly written. Surname is possibly "Magorein", "Magorian" or "Magorem".
114 Surname appears to be either "Ryan" or "Regan".
116 Surname clearly begins with "Ha" followed by either "rt" or "st" forllowed by
either "euth" or "ruth". Surname is possibly "Hartruth", "Hastruth", "Harteuth"
or "Hasteuth".
117 Surname is either "Cairn" or "Cairns".
124 Surname appears to be either "Doyle" or "Doule".
