A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is
superscripted.
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed
definitely.
The designation "Nor. Bk Veritas" in the sworn statement likely means that the
Bark Veritas was of Norwegian registry or ownership.
The ship's captain is from Taganrog, a seaport on the Sea of Azov in the
Ukraine.
The transcriber numbered the passengers even though they are not numbered in
the original manifest.
