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.

The manifest scribe numbered the passengers and started each change in Space Occupied 
with #1; the passengers have been renumbered sequentially by the transcriber to aid 
with referencing.

All ditto marks on the original manifest have been replaced with the actual words 
indicated.

Passenger Destinations were frequently misspelled; destinations on the transcription 
are as written on the manifest.

The manifest scribe frequently did not record passenger Sex; no information other 
than name and Space Occupied was recorded for first class passengers.

  3 There is an illegible mark in front of first name, unable to determine 
    if it is significant or a stray mark.
 10 6th and 7th letters of surname illegible because of ink blot.
 12 Country of Origin as written.
 45 "Infant" is written immediately after the passenger's name, 
    infant has been assigned the sequential number of 213.
 77 2nd number of Age illegible.
107 Superscripted letter in first name illegible.
115 First name omitted.
123 First name, surname, and Age omitted, surname is
 probably Person (see psgr #122).
131 Age (written as ditto marks) not consistent with Occupation.
148 Age overwritten, not clear, could be 16y or 26y.
175 First name and surname omitted, probably child of psgr #174; Occupation, 
    Country of Origin, and Destination were all ditto marks.
182 Destination overwritten, illegible, could be miswritten Rochester.
184 'x' written after name; Age omitted.
194 No passenger number recorded by manifest scribe; transcriber has
   assigned the sequential number; first name overwritten and faded, 
   could be Edward or Bernard.
195-213 Only passenger names recorded for these passengers.
203 "Infant" written after passenger's name.
207 Title not consistent with first name.
208 Surname could be Steer or Stees.
