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.

?  Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the 
   condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.

^  A ^ followed by a letter indicates that the letter was superscripted.

*  Names were transcribed as seen regardless of spelling.

*  Passengers where numbered by the transcribers for ease of referencing.

*  None died during the voyage, therefore this coloumn was eliminated.
