Ancestry and Ellis Island both interpret it as "Sabina" but I can't find a town with that name in Poland. I did find a "Zabina" and a "Sabnie" but the handwriting on the manifest looks like the name ends in a "u". Appreciate any help!

Lots of misspellings were made on the ship's manifests. If you know the area you are searching and Zabina is in the area it more then likely is the place.
