X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=TEXT/HTML:<p>Ships of Our Ancestors. During the active y
 ears of Ellis Island\, 83\,000 ship arrivals were recorded. Between 1880 a
 nd 1914 about two million Jewish immigrants arrived from Europe\, with mos
 t passing through Ellis Island. Until the age of flight\, immigrants arriv
 ed by sea\, first on sailing ships and after the middle of the 19th Centur
 y\, on steamships. This presentation focuses on the ships on which our anc
 estors traveled\, discussing the shift from sail to steam and the governme
 ntal regulations which made ship travel safer and more humane. It will add
 ress the experience of our ancestors in getting to the port of embarkation
 \, being processed for passage\, and their shipboard experience\, as well 
 as the cost and duration of the voyage. Finally\, it will address several 
 stubborn myths related to our ancestors' immigration.</p>\n
