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 numbered the passengers.

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).

The manifest scribe used a Germanic letter resembling 'fs'; to aid in reading, these have 
been transcribed to 'ss'.

105  3rd letter in surname not clear, could be Toad or Todd.
156-210  Space Occupied omitted, no ditto marks, no vertical lines, probably Main Deck.
168  2nd letter of surname not clear, could be Carley, Corley, or Curley.
