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.

.. Indicate missing letters due to a tear in the manifest of too faint to read.
   One dot does not stand for one letter.

*  Names were transcribed as seen regardless of spelling.

*  None died during the voyage, all passengers intended to stay in the US, therefore
   these coloumns were eliminated.

Captain:   most of the Captain's name is too faint to read. The first letter seems
           to be H, then a or u, then a letter that goes up like t or l.

2 - 6:     Surname may be Nakmios.
8:         the last name could be Keale.
19 & 20:   a tear in the manifest makes it hard to read the full names.
19:        the occupation cannot be read due to a tear in the manifest.
22:        the name could be Theosonio J. Barre.
23:        the last name could be Faria.
31:        the age could be 20.
36:        the last name could be Perieira.
38:        the first name should probably be spelled Pereira.
39:        the last name could be Fortado or Furtado.
40:        Surname may be Souzee or Souzju.
45:        the manifest only shows Theresa Angelica, no ditto marks for the last name. 
           There is a space though, the transcribers think that her last name is Fernandes
           as well.
54:        a crease in the manifest makes it impossible to read the first names.
61:        Surname may be de Ferra or da Terra.
62:        Surname may be Brom.
64:        Surname may be Scepen.
73 & 74:   the last name could be Alvera.
77:        surname is very faint but may be Ari?age or Ariago.
79:        the age is too faint to read.
94:        Surname may be Vicoria.
