In the 1900's, steam-powered ships took immigrants to America, and the journey that would have taken 40 days on regular ships now took only a few weeks. There were 3 classes of being on the ship. 1st class was pretty good, but the fees for it were higher. 2nd class was a bit worse, but fees were lower. 3rd class was cheap, however, they were crowded, and passengers were seldom allowed up for fresh air. They were transported down below, sometimes even in the cargo hold. But even with the new comfort of classes, poor food and disease were common on the ships.
