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.

This manifest was difficult to read with particular difficulty in deciphering 'L' or 'S'; 
additional research should be undertaken to confirm findings.

The manifest scribe did not number the passengers; the numbers have been added by the 
transcriber.

been transcribed to 'ss'.
