Transcriber's Notes:

*  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.

*  St. Thomas is written but is not listed in any other place on the Manifest   

There were no deaths on board, therefore, the column was eliminated.

Passenger was not numbered on the original manifest.
