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 was difficult to transcribe because of poor penmanship and ink blots and 
smears; additional research should be undertaken to confirm findings.

The manifest scribe did not number the passengers; the numbers have been added by the 
transcriber to aid with referencing.

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).

* Burthen tonnage was recorded originally as 1286 tons, lined out.
