Transcriber's Notes:

  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that cannot be transcribed 
  definitely.

  An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of
  the manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader 
  should refer.

  A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is 
  superscripted.

  The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not 
  numbered in the original manifest. 


 14-15  Surname is possibly "Cattone", "Cottone", "Coltone", "Caltone", "Cattom"
        or "Cottom".
 26-27  Surname appears to be either "Torrunte" or "Tarrunte".

 43-44  There is an acute accent mark above the "u" in surname "Richulli".
 50-53  Passengers' Occupation cannot be deciphered.  Occupation appears to begin
        with "Fl" followed by two or three undeciphereable letters, followed by
        "ter".
