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.

*  Accommodations are listed at beginning of list so the column is eliminated.

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

*  Male and Female were contracted to m and f for formatting reasons.

50  Last two letters of surname may be "rr" or "w", making the name either Crorr or Crow.
