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. 288: Given name may be Louise or Louisa 360: the last name could be Ganson or Gaurn. 459 & 460: the last name may be Weiting or Witning. 479: Surname may be Clapham or Japham. 505: Surname may be Welet, Ivelet or Nelet. 508: Surname may be Novoff, Neroff or Noroff.
