I couldn't get anymore off the "W of" than you. However, looking at the rest of the entries, (several people died on the voyage) I believe it may be date and time of death. Looks like "10 of March." Q2 -- as I read the Castle Garden website, it agrees with the above, reading "Destination Usa-died" -- there is no indication as to the disposition of the body in either case, that I can see. But, since it was standard to bury at sea, I would guess that's just what they did.

Sailed from Bremen, Germany and Southampton, England. |I am asking for assistance in reading the additional |information listed to |the right of her son Christian Barth age 9 months. He is line 15 and |passenger number 399. |Verbal family information is that Christian died on the voyage |to American |and was buried at sea. |I've enlarged the page and still can't make out what it says. |I think the notation reads "died of _________ of the brain" |and then "W of |Mar_________" and below that " _ _ 30__ ____". Am guessing the "W of |Mar..." may refer to the approximate location where he was |buried at sea. Q1 - Would someone kindly take a look at the |passenger list and give me |their interpretation? |Q2 - An additional question concerning this child: the Castle |Garden web |site indicates the family arriving and Christian is listed. |If someone |died on the voyage and was buried at sea, would the records |still show the |person arriving in America so everyone on the passenger list |was accounted |for on arrival? |Q3 - And my third question: if anyone is researching Barth and has |information to share on this family please contact me. They |settled in |Bureau and Lee counties of Illinois. |Thanks to all who generously use their time and resources to assist |others. This list is great! | |Vicki in Illinois | |
