content: This undated black and white print depicts a cattle boat or ferry boat containing Irish immigrants and their belongings. Men, women, horses, and pigs are all crammed onto the crowded and chaotic deck of the steamship. The passengers shout amidst the chaos, and complain about the safety as well as the cost saying, “what d—n accomodations!!! 4 cents for 7 minutes steam.” While the intent of the particular image is unclear, it is likely a commentary on the increasing number of Irish immigrants entering the United States and settling in cities like New York in less than stellar housing.
