Transcriber's Notes:
The column, "Died on the Voyage" was eliminated as there were no deaths recorded
on this passage.
The original lister numbered the passengers, but did not provide a recapitulation
at the end of the document.
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 this letter/letters may be.
A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name or word. The original
lister showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.
14 The age may possibly be 4.
34 and 35 It is strange that these passengers are listed as servants at such a
young age, instead of being recorded as "child". Perhaps the age is listed in
error.
47 Surname: Shonocks, Shonooks. Both are German names.
71 The original lister appears to be trying to add a letter following the "N".
Name could be Neilan if this is the case; otherwise Nolan.
122 & 123 The original lister used a "leading s" on this name, which looks like an "f".
It is the only time on this list that it was used, but it was probably the only
occasion he had a double "s".
150 This name could be either Foner or Toner. It may be that the line crossing the
stem, making it appear to be an "F" is really a flourish added by the original
lister, or it could be deliberate, making it a "T". Both are Irish names.
157 The word "Spinster" is crossed out of the occupation column.
180 Surname: McAleer, McAlees.
The Dreadnought was a three-masted medium clipper ship built in 1853 in Newburyport,
Massachusetts with a very distinctive history. Between June 17 and July 2, 1859, it
left New York and arrived off Queenstown after 9 days and 17 hours. In February of
1862, it collided with and sank the ship John Evans, two days out from New York,
bound for Liverpool. On January 16, 1863, it sailed from Liverpool for New York.
Five days out she encountered a severe gale and lost a rudder. Capt. Samuels broke a
leg and was almost washed overboard. Having failed to rig a rudder, the ship was
sailed backwards towards Fayal. Continued to New York after 52 days of repairs. That
same year, in December, the ship was partially dismasted and the rudder torn away.
Capt. Lytle received injuries from which he subsequently died. The Dreadnought made
several trips from New York to San Francisco and from Liverpool to San Francisco. On
July 4, 1869, she drifted ashore and was wrecked off Tierra del Fuego.
The Dreadnought made 31 round trip voyages between New York and Liverpool between
1853 and 1864.
