Reader’s notes on the scan

  • Item 13 says 'citizen of United States 56 years [illegible]' alongside the name.
  • Item 20 mentions 'estimated at less than 300 00/00' in addition to 'unknown'.
  • In signature role, 'Sch. Paul and Listhee' is likely the name of the vessel, referring to Schooner Paul and Listhee (or similar spelling).

Automated checks couldn’t confirm some values in the transcribed text. Fields marked Check scan are worth comparing with the scan, which is the authority.
