0 in the past, the part of a ship in which passengers with the cheapest tickets travelled: --
She had come to America in steerage.
I have travelled both as a cabin and a steerage passenger.
In fact, they go with the minimum speed possible in order to maintain steerage way.
The conditions are worse, not only as regards the steerage, but even the cabin accommodation is not up-to-date.
There is, in the nature of things, little steerage way.
It applied only to steerage passengers and to ships which brought more than twenty such passengers.
If passengers were in steerage they were not allowed any spirits on board, and their berths were 18 ins.
But, talking about long-term interests being identical, so are the long-term objectives of stateroom and steerage passengers.
And most of the furniture has been taken from the steerage passengers to improve the conditions of the first-class passengers.
