Steerage - The Immigrant's Journey

Steerage Passengers on Deck

Steerage (or Tween Decks) and Third Class was the default choice of many immigrants from the 1850s through the 1930s. The conditions varied by steamship line and was likely to be fairly harsh compared to modern standards. Early steerage often housed hundreds of immigrants in one large room.
