Ship Rhine

I, Geo Morse, Master of the Ship Rhine, 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 of the said Ship at (faded too badly to read at all)* from which port said Schn 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,
Signed G Morse

List or Manifest of all the passengers taken on board the Ship Rhine Whereof GAM is master from London. Burthen 1137 tons.

Columns represent: passenger number, Given name, Surname, age, Sex, occupation, Country to which they severally belong. No one died on the voyage as near as I can tell and the part of the ship occupied has been either faded or not entered and the country they are going to is also blank except for the first passenger so those columns have been eliminated.

Transcriber's Notes:

*  The use of an asterisk(*) indicates an omission or error made by the 
   original recorder, or the writing was too faded to read.

?  The use of the question mark(?) indicates the film was too light smudged or 
   too dark or for some other reason a whole name or a few letters of a name
   are unreadable.

^  The use of the carot(^) indicates the subsequent letter was raised.

The first line reads passenger was going to USA and was a cabin passenger. 
The rest of the list is unreadable.
The destination listed on the header for the passengers lists the ship as 
coming from London.
For those of you who think they may have passengers aboard, I am sorry about 
the missing areas of information. I am trying to transcribe all the ships 
lists that are available on this particular film. If this could be ordered 
from the Federal Archives you may get a better copy than the one I have. The 
numbers for ordering are listed at the end of this transcription.
