Cabin
Class distinctions were clear on the immigrant sailing ships that arrived in Australia from 1830 onward. People of higher social standing travelled 'Cabin' class. The cabins, which were located above deck where they could receive more air and light, were relatively spacious and private, and there was a separate bathroom, messroom (dining room) and saloon (sitting area). Cabin passengers had sole use of the poop deck at the stern of the ship and received better food than the steerage passengers.
The space allocated as the 'Cabin' is the after-part, that is the part nearest the stern, comprising the cabins under the poop-deck; and on the main-deck, from the stern most cabin to between the after and main hatchways. The stern-cabins are considered the most eligible, being retired, and having more light and air, and generally being the quietest. Only one person in ten could afford the price of a Cabin.
The assistance of a steward or servants meant Cabin passengers had more time than Steerage for social activities, games, reading and writing or lounging on the poop deck.

Steerage The Steerage section, for lower classes travelling on cheaper fares or assisted passages, was located below deck and was dark and stuffy with little room. Minimal privacy was maintained by sections for single men and single women at either end of a space for families. Each person's only private space was a bunk bed. For 'Steerage' passengers in particular (on the lowest deck and below the water line), the cramped and unhygienic quarters became worse when tremendous storms were encountered later in the voyage in the Southern Ocean. At such times, all passengers were confined below deck for days, sick and tossed around, often in complete darkness, and fearing for their lives. |
Steerage quarters often had berths lining the walls and a long dining table in the middle.
