Transcriber's Notes:
The first pages of this of this manifest are from a Passenger Souvenir booklet,
contributed by Marshall Price. This
booklet shows Cabin (Saloon) passengers only without age and country of origin. These
passengers where transcribed again with all available information.
All passengers stated that they wanted to stay in the US, none died on the voyage,
therefore these 2 coloumns where omitted.
* The cover of the souvenir booklet says Royal Mail Steamer (RMS), the captain put
SS on the sworn statement of the handwritten manifest.
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the
original recorder, not the transcriber, or is used
to call your attention to additional information in
the transcriber's notes.
? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined
due to the condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.
^ A ^ followed by a letter indicates that the letter was superscripted.
* Names were transcribed as seen regardless of spelling.
* Passengers where numbered consecutively by the transcribers for ease of referencing.
On the manifest, Cabin passengers' numbering started at 1 again.
123 & 124: Surname may be Hesley or Husley.
180: Surname may be Hemson or Herrson.
192: Surname may be May or Moy.
223: Surname may be Bilboor or Bilbow.
224: Given name may be Brite or Bribe.
228 & 229: Surname may be Nilk or Wilk.
230: the last name could be Tomlymoss or Tomlynoss.
232: Surname may be Brenande.
251: Surname may be Burk or Bark. The first name definitively looks like
John, it could be that the name is Johanna though since the gender
is female and the occupation spinster.
