Isaac's journey

Isaac is from Russia.
He was 17 years old when he left Russia and he emigrated to the USA.
He went to Hamburg in Germany by train, then he went to Liverpool in England by cargo boat because it was cheaper than a passenger ship. Then he went to New York by liner.
It was a big liner, there were 927 passengers.
The weather was very bad and there was a storm.
The conditions on board were very bad: they slept on very hard bunk beds, there were no showers or washing facilities, the food was terrible, they ate everyday potatoes and cabbage so everyone was seasick.
He arrived in March 1892 and the trip took / lasted for 2 months.
He cried when he saw the Statue of Liberty because it was a new start and he was free.
