Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark indicates unclear or indecipherable material.
a ^ indicates superscript.
an * indicates a footnote found in the Passenger Notes.
The 10 cabin passengers were not numbered on the original list. They have been numbered
(272-281) on this list and placed at the end of the listing.
This list writer's lower case "k" and "h" are very similar and sometimes difficult to
determine within a name.
Preusen is the German term for Prussia; Sachsen is Saxony. Norden is a city in
Ostfriesland.
The name of the ship appears as Christoph Columbus and Christopher Columbus in this list
and as just Columbus in other sources.

18-22 Surname seems unusual; it may be Flendje.

61-63 Hasenjager has an umlauted a so may also be Hasenjaeger.
74-75 Furchtenicht has an umlauted u so may also be Fuerchtenicht.
107-108 Ruhter has an umlauted u so may also be Ruehter.
120 Kustermeyer here has an umlauted u (so may also be Kuestermeyer), but previous
passenger's listing does not have the umlauted u.
122 Bruning has an umlauted u so may also be Bruening.
134 Age is either 68 or 62.
