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 a Germanic letter resembling 'fs'; to aid in reading, these
have been transcribed to 'ss'.
The manifest scribe added a column to the far right side of the manifest, probably
indicates amount of baggage brought aboard. The "(" indicates family member(s)
included in the amount of baggage; "(" and a number following is written on the
first passenger of the family or group and indicates the number of packages, etc.
For example, passenger # 1 and family/group brought 2 pieces of baggage aboard,
passenger # 2 traveled with him as family.
