So help me God,
Sworn to this 20th June 1857 C J S Bruhn Before me ?
List or Manifest of All the Passengers taken on board the hamb. Bark Johannes whereof C. J. S. Bruhn is Master, from Hamburg burden 606 tons.
Columns represent: passenger names, ages, gender (this scribe uses man/woman instead of male/female regardless of age, I have simply indicated the gender as m or f), and occupation. The columns for country of origin and destination have been omitted in this list because all were listed as being from Germany (with the few exceptions noted in the passenger notes), and all destinations listed were for the United States of America.
