Transcriber's Notes:

The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription as there were no
deaths on this passage.  There was one birth on board, Passenger #146, but the name of the
infant is not given, nor the name of the mother.

The original lister did not number the passengers and did not provide a recapitulation at the
end of the Manifest.

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.

  5-7 Chave, Chane.
  15  This name is at the fold of the manifest.  First name could possibly be Anna; the
      surname could be Hicken.
  36  Blood, Blord.
  85  Hart, Hort, Horst.
 104  McAllesten, McAllester.
 124  The ink is smeared here.  The age is more than nine and less than 20.
