General notes:
The captain's sworn statement was filmed at the end of the manifest, but is
shown here at the beginning.

letters at the beginning of names. The names are transcribed as written.
Locations and occupations are spelled as written.
Passenger notes:
66 Furst - Conrad, age 27, died 13 May 1854
71 Furst - The last digit of the age is not written clearly. It looks like
the age is 45.
75 Furst - Given name Franz, sex written as 'f'
86 Furst - The digits are not written clearly but the age appears to
be 58.
94 ????? - The surname is nearly obscured by a fold in the paper. The
capital letter which could possibly be a 'W' is followed by 1 or 2 small
letters, then a tall letter that looks like a 't'. There may be 1 small
letter after the tall letter, giving W??t? as a possibility.
105 von Ar?? - After the 'Ar' there are 1 or 2 small letters. The last
letter could be an 'e', giving von Ar?e.
127 gredt - Jacob, age 8, died 8 May 1854
131 ??nr?dt - The missing letters are poorly written or overwritten, but
the name could be Kunradt.
135 Mar? - The surname may be Marx. The second digit of the age is
overwritten. The age is either 23 or 25.
159 Winter - Margeir, age 3/4, died 7 May 1854
165 Winter - age is partially obscured in a fold. It looks like 1/2.
182 ?erkin - The first letter is overwritten, but it looks like a 'D'
giving Derkin.
