Treasury the entire time.
So not only did it exist, it was in the government's hands, locked in the Treasury by President Woodrow Wilson himself.

Maybe Wilson hid the manifest because he was involved in Room 40's plan to sink the Lusitania.
Yeah, maybe this was an international conspiracy and the president deceived Americans because he wanted to go to war.
For years, the US and UK insisted that the Lusitania was an innocent passenger ship unjustly attacked by two German torpedoes.
But it later came out that they covered up the truth of the ship's military capabilities and what it was carrying.
