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 did not include psgr #s; they have been added by the transcriber.

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

The denominator of the fraction of tonnage is illegible.

 8  First letter of surname not clear because of stray mark, could be Canin.
12  Initial (first name) not clear, could be "N" or "V".
28  Ending of surname illegible because of handwriting, could be Whitney or
    Whiting.
35  Surname omitted.
36-38  5th letter of surname not clear, ending of surname illegible because
    of overwriting of Age.
39  3rd letter of surname not clear, extends below the line.
48  Next-to-last letter(s) of surname not clear, could be Lemoms or Lemorns.
64  6th and 7th letters of surname illegible.
66  2nd number of Age illegible because of lower extension of the number '7'
    from psgr. 65 record, could be 21y.
69-71  Occupation and Space Occupied omitted.
