My 3rd class ticket was paid for by the US Government. For me, the highlight of the trip was the approach into New York harbor; I still get emotional when I recall seeing the Statue of Liberty against the background of lower Manhattan. Two years later I crossed the Atlantic in the opposite direction, again courtesy of the US Government, on a troop transport that took about 10 or 11 days to reach Bremerhaven.
