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.

*  Passengers were numbered by the transcribers for ease of referencing.

*  None died during the voyage, therefore this coloumn was eliminated.

*  This port is probably La Guaira, Venezuela which is located very near to Puerto Cabello.
   Portfocus.com has this to say about La Guaira:
   The Port of La Guaira was Venezuela's first commercial and most important port due to
   the proximity to the city of Caracas--one hour (20 Km.) away. In the colonial days the
   importance was such that the Spanish Guipuzcoana Company (building still exists and is conserved
   in very good condition) was operating through this port.  It is the only Port equipped for
   receiving Tourist Vessels. 

*  Porto Cabello is also know as Puerto Cabello.
