Transcriber's Notes:

None died on the voyage, therefore this coloumn was omitted.
Passengers where numbered by the transcribers for ease of referencing.
The captain counted 41 passengers, one passenger is missing on this list,
the name and all information was not scanned. The top of some letters are visible at
the end of the first scan, below passenger # 37. It is not enough to decipher any
information.

*  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.
   Hayti should probably be Haiti.

  1 the last name could be Morrais.
  5 the last name could be Keitel.
  7 this name is written as one name, no spaces, it could be George Laporte.
 30 the last name could be Itunaldo, Itumalde or Itunalde.
    The first name could be Sixt, Sixd, Jixt or Jixd.
 34 the last name could be Expent.
