Hi Nora and all,

Everyone who was on the ship (even stowaways) should be listed on the
manifest. Non-steerage passengers got some perks (like business
class flyers today), including not having to disembark for the
medical evaluation and getting off the ship first, but they all would
be on the manifest.

Hope that helps.
Claire K.
