transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information in
the transcriber's notes.

All passengers indicated that they intend to stay in the United States. Nobody died on
this voyages. Therefore both coloumns were eliminated. The part of the vessel occupied
during the voyage was behind the names. For ease of formatting this was put above the
passengers names in 2 sections. Passengers were numbered by the Captain, starting at 1
again for Cabin passengers. For ease of referencing, passengers were numbered
consecutively by the transcriber.
