There is a wealth of info there, including some of the ship names (there were dozens, if not hundreds), rates of immigration, breakdowns by country, etc.

San Diego..an old wooden ship
Try "The Ships List " on the web for immigrant ancestors research.Many immigrants rode third class on passenger liners,such as RMS Titantic.It would take all their savings for a year to pay for it.All they could bring was a few suitcases,anything else was cargo.My ancestors died of cholera shortly after arriving and the kids were placed in foster homes,in 1849.The length of the journey depended on the weather;sometimes wrecking the ship,before arrival.
