Transcriber's Notes:
On the cover page of the National Archives copy of the manifest, the ship is listed as
the Rhine. This is probably in error and the name listed on the manifest itself is the
correct one. The N.G. abbreviation refers to North Germ, probably German, as listed on
other manifests for this same ship. It is not clear what this means.
The column, Died on Voyage was omitted as there was only one death on board, Passenger
#663, and this was noted in the transcriber's notes.
The column, "Part of the vessel occupied..." has the information abbreviated. The lister
recorded the information as: Cabin Upper Saloon, Cabin Lower Saloon, or Steerage and
Deckrooms. This was abbreviated by the transcriber in the interests of space.
A question mark (?) is used for letter or letters which could not be read because of the
quality of the document. Where possible a suggestion of what this letter or these letters
may be is given in the transcriber's notes.
An asterisk (*) is used to refer to the transcriber's notes with a further explanation.
The numbering of passengers was done by the original lister. The original lister recorded
the names as first name and then surname; transcriber reversed this for ease in
alphabetizing.
