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.

*  Passengers where numbered by the transcribers for ease of referencing.

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

36:  Julian de Cordova (1851 - 1945) was the son of Jamaican immigrants. At a young age he 
     became a successful business man, travelling extensively. Inspired by visits to Spain, 
     he remodelled his summer home in Lincoln, Mass. in the form of a European castle in 1910. 
     In 1930 he gave his home to the town of Lincoln, stipulating that it be turned into a 
     museum of art after his death. The  musuem was opened in 1950, for modern art exhibitions,
     on extensive lovely grounds surrounding the museum. The transcriber lived in an adjacent 
     town and frequently visited the musuem with his family.
57:  Most likely this lady was one of the more famous Astor's. Her full name was Caroline 
     Webster Schermerhorn Astor, 1830-1908, and was the wife of William Backhouse Astor.
