What was the journey to America like for Irish immigrants?

It was very long, tiresome trip that coul last one month, or up to six, depending on the weather. There were hardships on the boat as well, including storms, sea-sickness among other illnesses, loneliness, perhaps if they were traveling alone, and there would be money changers on the ship that would take say, $10 that you had and give you a handful of shiny pennies and you'd be happy as a clam cuz you thought that was a lot of money. those things happened on all ships.
