Description

As the S.S. "Danzig" moves across the ocean to America in 1904, the voyagers in the steerage compartment dream of the new world that awaits them. The passage presents hardships, but for the young travelers with their eyes on the future, there is also the possibility that their dreams will soon become realities.
