Transcriber's Notes:

*  An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the
   transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information in the
   Transcriber's Notes below.

?  The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to quality
   of the original document.

^  The use of a ^ indicates that the letter/letters following are superscripted.

The transcription preserves the original spelling.

All ditto marks on the original manifest have been replaced with the actual words 
indicated.

The manifest scribe used long vertical lines to probably indicate continuation of 
the last written word(s). These lines have been replaced with the actual word/words 
indicated.

The manifest scribe numbered the passengers.

The manifest scribe used a Germanic letter resembling 'fs'; to aid in reading, these 
have been transcribed to 'ss'.

20  This line was left blank.
