Transcriber's Notes:

  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed 
  definitely.

  An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the 
  manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader should refer.

  A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is superscripted.

  The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not 
  numbered in the original manifest.

  "Male" and "Female" in the Sex column are shortened to "M" and "F" for formatting
  reasons.


 10      Surname is recorded as "Berrott", but might possibly be "Barrett".
 27      Surname appears to be writen as "Cap", but might possibly be "Cass".
 31      Only the one name is recorded.
