Traveling in steerage during the late 19th and early 20th centuries often meant enduring cramped and unsanitary conditions, leading to a higher risk of illness and disease among passengers. Steerage travelers typically faced long journeys in overcrowded quarters, with limited access to food and basic amenities. This experience not only impacted their health but also shaped their social status upon arrival, as many immigrants faced challenges in assimilating and finding work in their new countries.
