I am helping a friend with organizing his family album dating back between the 1900s to 1933. Thank you.

I have grandparents who emmigrated from Holland by ship in the 20s. I imagine it took a month or two but let me ask around.

It took about 2 months in the 1700’s – 1800’s, about one week in the 1900’s

From Liverpool to New York was about 5 days although if they really pushed it they could it in 4 depending on the ship.

5–7 days depending on the ship. (For reference, see Titanic stats)

I do not know, but the Titanic still has not arrived.

4–5 days depending on the ship.

1907: 4 days 20 hours: steam turbine-equipped steamship: RMS Lusitania
1929: 4 days 3 hours: bulbous bow-equipped steamship: SS Bremen

$ to 5 days. The passenger ships were powered, not wind driven.
