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.
? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the condition of the
manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.
^ A ^ followed by a letter indicates that the letter was superscripted.
* Names were transcribed as seen regardless of spelling.
None died on the passage, therefore this coloumn was eliminated.
The various ports of departure are hard to read, the 2nd last port looks like Montona.
The Captain's initial could be D.
9 the first name could be Adeline.
10 the last name could be Lonnsbury or Lomsbury.
22 Surname could be Coor.
56 Print is too light to discern given name.
