Transcriber's notes:
* Marcus Hook today is considered to be in Pennsylvania.

** According to  The Louverture Project
"Cap(e) Français (also Cap(e) François) is one of many formal names that 
Le Cap, Haiti's second largest city on the northern coast, has held 
over the years. This name usually refers to the northern Haitian city 
under French colonial rule up to 1804, since it was renamed after the 
successful Haitian revolution. The city's formal name now is Cap Haïtien 
in French and Okap in Kreyòl."
