Transcriber's Notes:
     
* Indicates additional information in a footnote.
? Indicates a letter that could not be read with certainty.

Due to the light manifest copy, many names were difficult to read with 
certainty. The ship's name was Severlam or Severlain and was illegible 
in the sworn statement; on the back of the photocopy of the manifest was 
written, Bark Severlam. A search was made of Magellan and others but the
name could not be found. On the manifest copy sworn statement, the ship's name 
was so faint that a guess could not be made at any letters. The ship's 
master was Slettman or Stettman. United States was listed as the destination 
for the first passenger; on the manifest it was not repeated for the others.

 1     Surname could be Strunk, Strunh, Strunth.
 3     The letter after the W is faint, maybe h for Whitkins
 4 & 5 Surname might be Lumbricht.
 5     Age very faint; maybe 5.
 6     Age very faint; maybe 20. 
11     Occupation illegible. Might be Miller.
13     First name Petrus perhaps. 
14     Age very faint, perhaps 8.
15     No age was listed.
16     Age might be 36; occupation illegible.
