Notes: If STRUCK THROUGH appears against one of the crew it means the Captain had ruled that person out and they did not sail.

Modifications made to scans: In some instances, text was enhanced - there was still an occasional name or list which defied this effort to read it; the Master's signatures are usually found at the bottom right corner of the page; some pages have been shortened; excessive black markings have been removed. The last two mods. were to enable the fastest possible display in your browser.
