The board member explained that once the ships were docked in the port, the company introducing the settlers was required to provide ship manifests, the settlers' contracts, lists of the settlers who died during the journey and the causes of their deaths, and other documents to support that the settlers had agreed to relocate to Cuba voluntarily. He also explained that before any person on board the ships could disembark, that the ship, crew members, and settlers had to be put under observation.
