No doubt they were first on the boat when the Caribbean was discovered.

Early settlers from Spain didn't have a First Class option anyway. Those bad boys were definitely tough and brave to spend 3 months at sea in a flimsy wooden craft typical of the day.

Most Europeans waited to come to the Americas after the invention of steelhulled luxury craft.
