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'.

  8 3rd letter of surname not clear, could be Webb or Welb.
 18 Surname was recorded by a hand other than the manifest scribe; 1st number of Age
    illegible, could be 2y.
 28 9th letter of surname not clear, could be 'e', 'r', or stray mark - HerBelraeth, 
    HerBelrarth, or HerBelrath; there is a possibility that that passenger's name is
    a miswritten Herr Henry Belraeth, Herr Henry Belrarth, or Herr Henry Belrath.
 42 Age not consistent with Occupation.
 53 Occupation as written.
 82 Passenger name lined out, no other information recorded, possibly a duplicate of 
    psgr #9999.
109 2nd letter of first name overwritten, smeared, illegible.
116 1st number of Age, smeared, illegible.
120 3rd letter of first name obscured by lower extension of letter 'g' in first name above.
