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 all the passengers even though they are not numbered on
the original manifest.
The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates given names by writing the first
few letters of the name, then skipping letters and then writing the final letter
as superscripted. In these cases, the transcriber uses the symbol (^) to indicate
that the following letter was superscripted, i.e., M^l or Mich^l for Michael, Mgt
or Marg^t for Margaret, Tho^s for Thomas, Brg^t for Bridget, W^m for William, etc.
The entry "United States" in the native country and destination country columns
is shortened to "U. States" for formatting reasons.
213 Passenger's Age is recorded as "2 1/2".
221 Surname is very faint and partially obscured by damage to the manifest and
cannot be deciphered.
269-271 Surname is recorded as "Gallaher", but might possibly be "Gallagher".
272 Passenger has the masculine given name "Martin" and Sex is recorded as "Male",
yet Occupation is listed as "Spins^r", likely a recording error.
287-288 Surname is recorded as "Finnigan", but might possibly be "Finnegan".
298 Surname appears to be recorded as "Lowny", but might possibly be
"Lowney" or "Loony".
307-309 Surname appears to be either "Stoney" or "Storey".
326 Passenger's name is very faint and partially obscured by damage to the
manifest and cannot be deciphered with certainty.
347 Surname appears to be written as "Kun", but might possibly be "Kern" or "Kerr".
351 Passenger's name is very faint and partially obscured by damage to the
manifest and cannot be deciphered with certainty.
376 Passenger's Age is either 26 or 36.
388 Surname is recorded as either "Heessy" or "Hussy", but might
possibly be "Hussey".
401 Passenger's name is very faint and partially obscured by damage to the
manifest and cannot be deciphered with certainty.
403 Surname is recorded as "Lepold", but might possibly be "Leopold".
