Transcriber's Notes:

The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription as there
were no deaths on this passage.

The original lister numbered the passengers, but did not provide a recapitulation at the
end of the document.  It appears to be a complete manifest, however.

An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which
further explains the entry.

A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the
quality of the document.  Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's
Notes of what the letter/letters may be.

A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name or word. The original
lister showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.

11  Leuer, Leues.

National Archives and Records Administration, Film M237, Reel 216, List 11.
