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 coloumn was eliminated.
* An extra coloumn was added at the end. It either contained a year or "citizen".
It is not clear what the year represents, possibly an earlier arrival.
