The Trip to America

        The long boat trip to America for many Poles was very bad.  The trip was about 4 weeks long.  The price of a ticket would be from $25- $35 depending on where you were leaving from.  Many of the Poles were poor and had to spend the long trip in crowded quarters.  Many got sick and some even died because of disease caused by the crowded conditions on the boat.
