Often, families would be able to buy tickets with the money their relatives sent from the U.S. Once they had the money, they would go to Liverpool, England to board on the ships. Usually, they would spend about 24 to 36 hours packed on the decks of cargo ships and unsheltered from the weather to arrive to Liverpool. From Liverpool, they board for Pennsylvania, New York, and Boston. The ships that carried the immigrants were called “coffin ships” because many grew sick of cholera and died on the ship. The death rates were approximately 5-12%. For the journey, some passengers brought food such as a sack of potatoes. Often there was not much space to walk around, enjoy the breeze, breath fresh air, or get some sunlight. They were all packed below the deck and away from the ship’s crew to prevent the spread of diseases. Usually the captains and companies were dishonest and promised great care for the long journey to make more money. Unfortunately, there were few legislation passed that fulfilled the bare necessities for the passengers on board.
