SS Maasdam
I, G. Bakker, Master of the Steamship Maasdam, 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 the City of New York, is a full and perfect list of all the passengers taken on board the said vessel at Rotterdam 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) G. Bakker. Sworn to this 21 July 1884, Before me. (signed) ?????????.
List or Manifest of ALL THE PASSENGERS taken on board the Steamship Maasdam whereof G. Bakker is Master, from Rotterdam, burthen 1017 tons.
Columns represent: given name and surname, age, sex, calling, the country of which they are citizens, location of compartment or space occupied, and number of pieces of baggage. Since the destination of all of the passengers was the United States, where each intended a protracted sojourn, and no one died during the voyage, those three columns were omitted in this transcription.

a protracted sojourn in the United States.

same as the previous passenger, "Nilssen", although the recorder
usually used ditto marks to imply this.
