Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russel
Freedman.
Men, women, and children were packed into dark, foul-
smelling compartments. They slept in narrow bunks
stacked three high. They had no showers, no lounges,
and no dining rooms. Food served from huge kettles
was dished into dinner pails provided by the steamship
company. Because steerage conditions were crowded
and uncomfortable, passengers spent as much time as
distressed
possible up on deck.
