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.

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

  The entry "United States of America" and "Great Britain" in the native country 
  and destination country columns are shortened to "U.S.A." and "Gt Britain" for 
  formatting reasons.  "Male" and "Female" in the Sex column is shortened to "M" 
  and "F" for the same reason.

  The copy of the original manifest is in good condition and quite readable.
  However, the recorder's recording of some surnames appears to be phonetical
  rather than the usually accepted spelling. Consequently, transcribed names are 
  susceptible to error, and should be viewed with some skepticism.  In cases in 
  which the spelling of a name is suspect, the transcriber includes viable
  spelling alternatives of names in the footnotes.

  
  2     Surname is recorded as "Dunnivan", but might possibly be "Donovan".
 17-22  Surname appears to be written as "Baston", but might possibly be "Barton".
 23-24  Surname appears to be written as "Kirley", but might possibly be "Kirby".
 28-29  Surname appears to be written as "Littelton" or "Lettelton", but might 
        possibly be "Littleton" or "Lettleton".
 30     Surname is recorded as "McCartey", but might possibly be "McCarty".
 43     Surname is recorded as "Keef", but might possibly be "Keefe".
 45     Surname is recorded as "Murphey", but likely is "Murphy".
 47-49  Surname appears written as "Backer", but might possibly be "Barker".
 62     Passenger's full name is recorded as "Bernard Hendrick Hauldorp".
 63     Passenger's middle name is either "Maria" or "Manna".
