Luggage Stickers

Bright red-and-white stickers were sent to passeners along with their tickets, one for each piece of baggage. Steamship lines of the time divided luggage into two categories: "wanted" and "not wanted" on the voyage. Baggage and trunks that would not be neededduring the trip were stored in one of the ship's massive cargo holds and were inaccessible during the voyage. Anything marked "wanted on voyage" would be delivered tot he passengers; cabins shortly after departure, marked with a sticker such as the ones included here.
