How long did it take to go to Ellis Island from Italy on a boat?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, back in the day, it took like 7-10 days to sail from Italy to Ellis Island. Can you imagine being stuck on a boat for that long? I'd be seasick for sure. Thank goodness we have planes now, am I right?

Answer 2

The duration of a boat journey from Italy to Ellis Island varied depending on factors such as the specific departure port in Italy, the weather conditions, the type of vessel used, and any stops along the way. On average, the voyage could take anywhere from 7 to 14 days during the peak Immigration period in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Steamships were faster and more efficient than sailing vessels, reducing travel time significantly.

Answer 3

"The voyage between Naples and New York, which is 4,188 knots, is performed by these steamers in fourteen to sixteen days, which includes one day's stoppage at Gibraltar." p. 258, "Marine Engineer and Naval Architect" Edited by William George Neal, published 1884

Answer 4

The trip across the Atlantic Ocean lasted 7-23 days. On the ships the passengers were divided by wealth and class. Most of the travelers were in third class, which was housed in a large open space at the lowest level of the ship. These ships would hold as many as 3,000 people.

Answer 5

The travel time from any place in Europe to the Port of New Yrok was very different depending on the year being considered. During the age of sail, it could be a month or more. After steam engines became the dominant form of propulsion and large passenger vessels were developed, passage was reduced to about a week by the early 20th century.
