In a previous thread we wrote about difficult trips by air between Europe and America. June, as an example wrote: ...that reminds me of a relative who signed up with Icelandic Air for a trip to Sweden and Finland because their fares were cheaper. From what she said, it was a horror trip all the way....
Does anybody of you have any stories told to you by your parents or grandparents about their voyage over from Finland via England to American ports? One would imagine that Iceland Air would have been luxury in comparison with the emigrant voyage with perhaps a third class ticket. Or has this kind of stories at all been transferred from generation to generation?
