Board the ship to America and take your chances there
From Create Your Own Story
You pack your few belongings, pay the three pounds sterling, and board the ship.
The voyage is rough and the food sparse and bad. Several times a storm approaches that would sink the ship. Fortunately, they all veer away.
Finally, you make it to a harbor in New York. You take your bag and head into the streets.
A few inquiries later, you have two possible plans.
- Accept a menial job sweeping floors at a boardinghouse in return for shelter, food, and one dollar a month
- Go into the Irish neighborhood a couple miles away and try your luck there
