Steerage referred to the lowest-cost (and lowest class) accommodations on board a vessel. Generally this was the lowest deck of the ship, where the control lines for the rudder could be found; hence the name, a derivation of 'to steer'.Steerage accommodations were noisy, cramped, crowded, with limited amenities such as toilets. The passengers were also among the last to be notified of the danger, and the last to be let on board the few lifeboats; as a result, while around 95% of the first-class women and children survived the disaster, less than 45% of those traveling in steerage did; and the men fared even worse.
Many new immigrants passes over the Atlantic from Europe in the early 1900's and late 1800's. Steerage was a horrible way to travel, but it was also the cheapest. Most of the trips were 8-14 days. 8-14 days with no ventilation, 6-8 foot ceilings, hay for bedding, and in the best case senarios 1 toilet for every 47 people. These horrible conditions spread contagious diseases and sea-sickness ran ramped. Some have compared these steerage rides to the slaves rides with no chains. If your ancestors traveled in steerage be happy they made it, or you would't be alive.
