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. * numbering for passengers started at 1 again for Cabin passengers. Passengers were numbered consecutively by the transcribers for ease of referencing. * None died during the voyage, therefore this coloumn was eliminated. 5: Surname may be Naven or Nevin. 12: Surname could not be read due to tear in the manifest. 15: the last name could be Quinn. 17: the last name could be Mahoney. 29: the last name could be Dinala or Dinaha. 17 & 32: Johan might stand for Johanna. 39: the last name could be Flenden or Glenden. 59: the last name could be Fumes. 115: Name, sex and occupation do not seem to match. 144: the last name could be Northledge.
