Transcriber's Notes:
? A question mark indicates material that was indecipherable.
* An asterisk indicates further information found in the passenger notes.
Gender designations in this list have been changed to m and f instead of the
written out form of Male and female as found in the original.
Ages are given in years + months.
Second cabin passengers may begin with #17, but the entry is unclear.
The writer of this places a bracket before the names of a family group
travelling together.
1 Surname blurred by damaged original. Looks like it may be Schumann.
10 Surname has an umlauted "o" so may also be Koehler.
10-16 Note vertically written between the passenger numbers and their
names: Captein Passengers.

to be something like Gobina.

bracketed indicating that they are together.

column: died on the voyage

Bechert.
