    3. By 1887 steamships were favoured for emigration [only 15 days to cross the Atlantic]. '...five million of the five and a half million people who left Britain for North America between 1860 and 1890, sailed from Liverpool.' [from "Liverpool and the American Cotton Trade" B.H Tolley] The railway links from Wales would have made this a fairly easy journey.
