Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that cannot be
transcribed definitely.
The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though
they are not numbered in the original manifest.
An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the
handwriting of the manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes
to which the reader should refer.
A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is
superscripted.
The recorder did not use ditto marks to indicate "same as above". Many
surname, sex and occupation entries are left blank and the reader is
confronted with the problem of interpreting the recorder's intended meaning.
The transcriber uses the surname of the passenger above for cases of children
whose surname is left blank, and use the sex last entered for a passenger
above, and correlate this interpretation with whether the passenger has a
masculine or feminine given name. Occupations are only given in the
transcription if the recorder entered them. Since it was common for
recorders not to make an entry in the occupation column for female
passengers or for children, a possible though not a certain interpretation
of the intended occupation where left blank is that of the occupation of the
last adult male entered above.
The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates a passenger's Calling,
i.e., as "Labr" for Laborer, "Mech" for Mechanic, "Merch" for Merchant
or "Servt" for Servant.

59 Surname is possibly "Brunatte", "Brunotte" or "Brunette".
60-61 There is an ink spot obscurring one or two letters in the surname. Name
is possibly "Heimmann" or "Heinemann".
68 Passenger has the masculine given name "Joh", yet Sex is listed as "Female",
likely a recording error.
69 Passenger has the masculine given name "Wm", yet Sex is listed as "Female",
likely a recording error.
71 Passenger has the feminine given name "Florence", yet Sex is listed as "Male",
likely a recording error.
77 Fourth letter of given name cannot be deciphered. Name is likely "Carl".
78 Surname is either "Walknit" or "Walkint".
