Transcriber's Notes:

  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed 
  definitely.

  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 transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not 
  numbered in the original manifest.

  The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates given names by writing the first few 
  letters of the name, then skipping letters and then writing the final letter as 
  superscripted.  In these cases, the transcriber uses the symbol (^) to indicate that 
  the following letter is superscripted, i.e., Tho^s for Thomas, Cha^s for Charles,
  W^m for William, etc.  Othertimes, the recorder abbreviates names by writing the 
  first few letters, skipping letters and then adding the final letter of the name,
  i.e., Patk for Patrick, Margt for Margaret, Thos for Thomas, etc..

  "Male" and "Female" in the Sex column are shortened to "M" and "F" for formatting
  reasons.

  The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates a passenger's Occupation, such as
  "Merch^t" for Merchant, "Mech^c" for Mechanic, "Labr" for Laborer, "Gent" for 
  Gentleman and "Inft" for Infant.

  The complete recorded entry for compartment occupied, truncated in the above 
  transcription for formatting reasons, includes the following:
      Passengers 1-21: "In State Rooms on Hurricane Deck Abaft the Wheels"
      Passengers 22-60: "In State Rooms on Upper Deck Abaft the Wheels
      Passengers 61-132: "In State Rooms on Main Deck Abaft the Wheels"
      Passengers 133-219: "In State Rooms and Open Berths on Main Deck Forward 
      of the Wheels".
 

  4      Given name appears to be either "Thilo" or "Philo".
 80-82   Passengers' Occupation appears to be written as "Drovier" or "Drowier", but
         the recorded might possibly have intended Drover, one who drives cattle.
 95      Surname is possibly "Lawplough" or "Landplough".
 98      Passenger's Occupation is recorded as "Deallar" or "Pedlar", but the 
         recorder might possibly have intended "Dealer" or "Peddler".
123      Surname is recorded as "Niel", but might possibly be "Neil" or "Neill".
124      Surname is recorded as "Hefferman", but might possibly be "Hefferan" 
         or "Heffernan".
127      Surname is recorded as "McArthur", but might possibly be "MacArthur".
136      Surname is either "Celle" or "Calle".
137      Surname is either "Rubenz" or "Rubeny".
148      Surname appears to be written as "Culleene", but might possibly be
         "Culleeny".
156      Given name initial is either "P" or "J".
174      Last half of surname is not clearly written and cannot be deciphered with
         certainty.  Name is possibly "Maring", "Marwig" or "Mariny".
219      Surname is either "Bunking" or "Bunting".
