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 manifest scribe used vertical lines probably to indicate continuation/duplication
of the last written word(s). Because of the length of Space Occupied descriptions, only the
actual writing has been included on the transcription. All passengers below each description
were included by use of the vertical lines.
* The manifest scribe numbered the passengers. However, the numbering began with number 18 with
the change from First Class Passengers to Second Class Passengers. No explanation was provided,
and all passengers have been numbered sequentially to aid with referencing.
* The last passenger was listed as number 330 which was the base for the manifest scribe's totals.
The transcription preserves the original spelling.
All ditto marks on the original manifest have been replaced with the actual words indicated.
The manifest scribe used a Germanic letter resembling 'fs'; to aid in reading, these have been
transcribed to 'ss'.
