Transcriber's Notes:

The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription as there 
were no deaths on this passage.

The original lister did not number the passengers and did not provide a recapitulation
at the end of the Manifest, but he did sign the document at the end.

This lister wrote the names as if he never expected them to be read again.  He tended
not to finish a name or a word.

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.

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.


 1  Surname:  Mein, Meir, Man.
 2  Occupation:  Machinist?
 7  Welles or Weller.
 9  Blumer, Burmer.
10  Hofscher or Hofschen.
11  There doesn't appear to be a letter between the initial "H" and the first "f", but
    logic says there should be a letter - Hoffart, Huffart, Heffart.
