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

indicated.

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

"New York" was cited in the testimonial as the Port of Departure, this is probably
 a recording error as "London" was subsequently cited in the testimonial as the
 Port of Departure.
