Error- Records show the wrong ship name
This link goes to a record set that shows incorrect information.

Shows Alice being on the ship Lady Buliver … but the images provided are for the passenger list for the ship Ellen Maria.
I wonder how many people indexed from this list are incorrectly identified as being on the Lady Buliver?
It appears that the indexer failed to recognize when the Lady Buliver’s list ended and another ships list began.
Can thus error be corrected?
At very least a ⚠️ warning to that effect should appear on each persons page with instructions to page left until the manifest page appears with the correct ship listed.
If you aren’t responsible for this site, could you tell me who to contact.
Thank You

It's probably not an error by an individual doing the indexing, but an error introduced in post-processing.
@Stephanie V. Could you possibly escalate to the proper department? Thanks.

Thanks for letting us know about the error in these passenger manifest records. Unfortunately, these records cannot currently be edited by users. These will have to remain incorrect until the new feature to edit every field is applied to this collection. Since we do not know when this transition will happen, we suggest you check back every once in a while to see if clicking the Edit button has more options. We understand that this is frustrating and we appreciate your patience until the new editing feature is available. In the meantime, you can enter a note about the record explaining the true ship name or attach the record using the Source Box to bypass the incorrect index.
