DISTRICT OF NEW YORK - PORT OF NEW YORK
I, Edw Cavendy master of the Steamer Washington do solemnly, sincerely and truly
swear that the following List or Manifest, subscribed by me, and now delivered by me
to the Collector of the Customs of the Collection District of New York, is a full
and perfect list of all the passengers taken on board the Steamer at Bremen &
Southampon from which port said Steamer has now arrived; and that on said list is
truly designated the age, the sex, and the occupation of each of said passengers,
the part of the vessel occupied by each during the passage, the country to which
each belongs, and also the country of which it is intended by each to become an
inhabitant; and that said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of said
passengers who have died on said voyage, and the names and ages of those who died.
Sworn to this 7 June 1855 So help me God. Edw Cavendy
Before me G A Hunt

Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark indicates material that was indecipherable.
An asterisk indicates further information found in the passenger notes.
A caret ^ indicates letters written in superscript, usually the ending of an abbreviated name.
Curiously, the scribe for this list has no umlauts on names such as Muller (i.e.
possibly Mueller, etc.) or Hanchen, etc.
In many cases the scribe has omitted the gender designation--I've added them
when it is clear, i.e. boy, or lady, etc.
Passenger Notes:
30 Destination of passenger is also Mexico.
80 Note in right hand column says: died June 4th.
88 Name may be Behrends.
147 First letter of given name unclear--may be S.
168 Surname looks like it may be Driste or Droste.
173 Surname also looks like Langentick.
180 Surname looks something like Morns.
217 Surname looks like it may be Southherd.
