IMAGE number: EVB2936826
Image title: Steerage passengers suffering from 'Ship Fever,' during the Atlantic crossing of the sail ship JAMES FOSTER from Liverpool to New York in 1869. The 150 steerage passengers endured primitive conditions and an outbreak of dysentery and disease which killed 16 and left forty others very ill after their long 76 day ocean crossing. Since the 1850s, most passenger ships were steamers that completed the ocean crossing in 2 weeks, leaving only the poorest emigrants willing to endure the long voyages on obsolete sailing ships
