Ship Great Western

I, R Cunningham, Master of the Ship Great Western, do solemnly, sincerely, and truly swear 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 New York, is a full and perfect List of all the Passengers taken on board the said Ship at Liverpool, from which Port the said Ship has now arrived; and that on said List is truly designated the age, the sex, and the occupation of each of said passengers, the part of the vessel occupied by each during the passage, the country to which each belongs, and also the country of which it is intended by each to become an inhabitant; and that said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of said Passengers who have died on said Voyage, and the names and ages of those who died.
So help me God. Robt Cunningham

Sworn to, this March 26th 1868,

Transcriber's Notes:

A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed 
definitely.

An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of
the manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader should
refer.

The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not 
numbered in the original manifest.

 3  A note associated with this passenger reads "Landed in New York,
    Ship Liverpool, 1854".
10  Surname appears to be written as "McQuick", but might possibly be "McQuirk"
    or "McQuirke".
14  There is damage to the manifest in the area of this passenger's name.  Only
    the beginning letter "E" of the given name is visible.  Surname clearly
    begins "Mc" followed by a partially visible letter, perhaps "C", followed
    by several letters impossible to decipher followed by the final letter "t".
    Name is possibly "Eugene McCarty", "Eugene McCourt" or some similar name.
