In the late 19th century and early 20th century, millions of people migrated between Europe and North and South America, Australia and more.

Great shipping lines - such as Red Star Line, Holland-Amerika Line, Koninklijke Hollandsche Lloyd - brought passengers on their long voyages to their new lives.

Many people departed Europe theought the great ports at Antwerp, Rotterdam and Hamburg.

We present a selection of advertisements and newspaper clippings showing the destinations and day-to-day travel behind these migration voyages.
