Information
has glosseng: Steerage refers to the lowest decks of a ship. This area of the ship was once used to accommodate passengers travelling on the cheapest class of ticket, and offered only the most basic amenities, typically with limited toilet use, no privacy, and poor food. Many immigrants to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th century rode this area. The name "steerage" came from the fact that the control lines of the rudder ran on this level of the ship.
