Sleeping quarters on our “luxury” ship out of Port of Riga, Latvia -- year 1906

Our half section of two bunks had six of us and a stranger, a Jewish woman named Foydel who cursed her husband Mot'el (in Chicago) for her misfortune of being on such a dangerous voyage. The other half-section was assigned to six Russions who seldom occupied their bunks. They preferred to eat, drink, and sleep on the long wooden benches in the 'dining' area.
