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.

The manifest scribe used vertical lines probably to indicate 
continuation/duplication of the last written word(s).
