- 20. Steps to America •Step One-Leaving Home • Step Two-On Board the Ship • Step Three-Inspection • Step Four-Beyond Ellis or Angel Island • Source
- 22. Step One-Leaving Home •It was common for one person from a family to come to America first • They would save to eventually bring others • From 1900 to 1910, almost 95% of the immigrants arriving at Ellis Island were joining either family or friends • In 1901, between 40 and 65% came either on prepaid tickets or with money sent to them from the United States
- 26. Step Two-On Boardthe Ship • A ticket to America cost $30 • Three types of accommodations-first class, second class and steerage • Only steerage passengers were processed at Ellis Island • First and second class passengers were quickly “inspected” on board the ship • Larger ships could hold from 1,500 to 2,000 immigrants, netting a profit of $45,000 to $60,000 for a single, one-way trip
- 27.
- 28. • For manyimmigrants, the experience of steerage was a nightmare • At one time, the average passenger mortality rate was 10 percent per voyage • Conditions were extremely overcrowded, dark, unsanitary and foul-smelling
- 29. • In spiteof the miserable conditions, the immigrants had faith in the future • Crossing the Atlantic could take anywhere from a week to more than a month, depending on the ship and weather • They would play cards, sing, dance and talk
- 31. • In1911, theUnited States Immigration Commission said: • “The open deck space reserved for steerage passengers is usually very limited, and situated in the worst part of the ship, subject to the most violent motion, to the dirt from the stacks and the odors from the hold and galleys... the only provisions for eating are frequently shelves or benches along the sides or in the passages of sleeping compartments. Dining rooms are rare and, if found, are often shared with berths installed along the walls. Toilets and washrooms are completely inadequate; saltwater only is available.
- 32. • “The ventilationis almost always inadequate, and the air soon becomes foul. The unattended vomit of the seasick, the odors of not too clean bodies, the reek of food and the awful stench of the nearby toilet rooms make the atmosphere of the steerage such that it is a marvel that human flesh can endure it... Most immigrants lie in their berths for most of the voyage, in a stupor caused by the foul air. The food often repels them... It is almost impossible to keep personally clean. All of these conditions are naturally aggravated by the crowding.”
- 33. Step Three-Inspection • Passengerswere inspected for contagious diseases such as cholera, plague, smallpox, typhoid fever, yellow fever, scarlet fever, measles and diphtheria • If immigrants had any of the diseases they would be deported • Sick children age 12 or older were sent back to Europe alone
- 34. • In total,about 20 percent of those arriving at Ellis Island were detained for medical treatment or a legal hearing • 80% were free to go after only a few hours • Only 2% of the immigrants seeking refuge in America would fail to be admitted

- 39.
- 41. Step Four-Beyond EllisIsland • As they left Ellis Island, the next stop was the Money Exchange • Cashiers exchanged paper money, from countries all over Europe, for American dollars • Then it was off to New York City or the railroad ticket office to go anywhere in the country that they wanted
- 43. Why were immigrantsdisliked in the US in the late 1800’s/early 1900’s? • Took jobs • Kept wages low • Different culture • Racism
