Synopsis

Crossing the Atlantic, then and now: how travel shaped a nations’ connection to America—and how travelers experience it today. This account traces the dramatic shift from cramped, risky voyages to comfortable, high‑tech steamship travel, and it reveals what passengers could expect at sea, from meals to social life.

In vivid scenes and reflections, the book looks at the people who made the journey, the ships that carried them, and the evolving systems that kept passage safe and orderly. It blends practical detail with lively anecdotes about life aboard a transatlantic voyage, the culture of emigrants, and the social dynamics of the steamship era.

• How early ocean crossing lived up to and diverged from its reputations


• What modern steamers offered saloon and steerage passengers in comfort and safety


• Daily life at sea, from dining to entertainment and social rituals


• Observations on emigration, religion, and the conduct of travelers across the Atlantic

Ideal for readers curious about historical travel, immigration, and the social history of transatlantic communication and culture.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
