Episode 1
After emotional goodbyes to family and friends, our hopeful immigrants board the S.S.Szeryk and begin their journey to America. The experiences on the ship really depended on whether a passenger had enough money to purchase a first class ticket or could only afford a ticket in steerage. First class passengers enjoyed spacious cabins, professionally prepared meals, and entertainment. The steerage passengers on the other hand, traveled to America in tight, crowded cabins where sickness was common and the food unpleasant. While sailing across the ocean our passengers were forced to deal with a storm, an unconscious captain, sickness and more. Do they make it to America or not?
