The SS Frisia was under the command of Master/Captain Emil Meier. It is unknown whether the surname was a coincidence or if he was a relative. SS Frisia's Departure Ports: Hamburg & Havre Arrival Date: 4 June 1874 Arrival Port: New York City, New York County, New York, United States The Meier family was in "steerage" or third class like most immigrants were forced to travel whether due to financial circumstances or other reasons. On the Meier family's voyage, the SS Frisia carried 545 passengers, which was actually a very modest number of passengers compared to most immigration voyages. However, almost all immigrant ships carried a combination of cargo and passengers. The number of passengers was generally dictated by the amount of room left after cargo was booked. The steamship lines then sold any excess space to additional passengers to maximize profits. So a modest number of passengers didn't mean that the steerage area was any less crowded than an immigrant ship that carried a thousand passengers. (The number of passengers also depended on ship size.) Contributor: sharmor
