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.

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

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.

Passenger #s 37-44 were apparently duplicated in the microfilming process and have 
not been duplicated on this transcription.

Ancestry.com list this ship's Port of Origin as Glasgow, Scotland.

15 9th letter of surname illegible because of fading, however there is a dot over the
   letter probably indicating that the letter is an 'i', Standernich.
49 Age omitted.
63 Age omitted.
66 Occupation smeared, illegible.
81 2nd letter of surname not clear, could be Wethy or Withy; 2nd word of Occupation
   illegible.
