The people in steerage were at the bottom of the ship and below water level. There were no windows, no rooms, and very little of anything else. The ships in the 1900's divided decks according to classes of people. The decks were separated with locked gates and the upper deck people who paid the most for passage never met or saw the people on the other decks. The immigrants below were locked in so they couldn't have access to the upper decks. They were considered the poorest dirtiest people on the ship so we're sold the worse accommodations.

Why was the steerage considered the worst accommodations on ships travelling from Europe to Asia?

Steerage was considered the worst accommodation on ships traveling from Europe to Asia due to its cramped and unsanitary conditions, where many passengers were packed together in poorly ventilated spaces. The lack of privacy, minimal facilities, and limited access to food and water made the experience uncomfortable and often unbearable. Additionally, steerage was primarily used by immigrants and those unable to afford better options, further contributing to its negative reputation. This resulted in high rates of illness and mortality during voyages.
