Book Description
Millions of men, women and children risked their lives in wooden sailing ships - some no larger than a modern city bus - to reach the New World. Many made the voyage willingly, hoping for a better life in growing European colonies. Others - such as slaves from Africa -- did not. But all faced the common hardships of disease, violence, dangerous weather and death in their attempts to cross the Atlantic Ocean.
