Now that I have established that my Priban Great Grandparents arrived in New York on the Bark Olbers out of Bremen in 1867, I would like to read more about the living conditions aboard these ships. I read mega amounts about my Italian Grandparents voyage and their Ellis Island experience, but nothing about the sailing ships. Please tell me what sites and books would be best. dolores desideri Looking for: Desideri, Innocenti, Lupori, Lenzi, Priban, Preban, Janecek, and Antos.

Delores, The site I just posted to Mary Anne might be of interest to you too http://www.norwayheritage.com/articles/templates/voyages.asp?articleid=20&zoneid=6 It is the Norway Heritage site (in English), but the "The Transatlantic Crossing" written by Børge Solem gives a wonderful description of the transatlantic voyage through the ages.
