Transcriber's Notes:

This is a partial list and contains the first class (Saloon) and second class
(2nd Cabin) passengers only. The remainder of the list is not available for
some unknown reason.  Possibly it was destroyed inadvertently, or it is filed
elsewhere in the National Archives.  There is a note recorded at the top of
the list "82 Aliens", so we can be sure that ship carried more passengers,
probably about 1200. Should the remainder of the list become available at
some later time, it will be added to these pages.

The columns, "Date and Cause of Death" and "Transient, In Transient or intending
protracted sojourn" were elminated from this transcription as there were no deaths 
recorded on this brief list and there was no indication of the indication of
a protracted sojourn or not.

The original lister numbered the passengers.  The original lister recorded the 
names as given name and then surname; the transcriber has reversed this order 
for ease in alphabetizing and reference.  

This Manifest has been creased and is worn away at the fold lines, which 
unfortunately are mostly along the Age column, so many of the ages are not
able to be read.

A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the
quality of the document.  Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's
Notes of what this letter/letters may be.

An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which 
further explains the entry.

A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name. The original lister 
showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.

  5 Surname: Pott or Patt.
 42 Surname: Sprandel, Spraudel.
