ship manifest
Vessel's inventory list
A ship manifest is an official document listing a vessel's cargo, passengers, or crew.
Cargo manifests detail goods being transported—quantities, descriptions, and destinations.
Passenger manifests record everyone aboard, historically important for immigration records: Genealogists often search ship manifests to trace ancestors who emigrated.
The document serves customs, safety, and legal purposes.
