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 did not number the passengers; the numbers have been added by the 
transcriber.

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

Beginning with psgr #48, someone other than the original scribe overwrote "Midships" with 
"Upper Between Decks" followed with a long vertical line down the page; it is not clear if 
all passengers were actually located in this location.
