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.

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