How long from Finland to America in the 1880's?

<h3>How long from Finland to America in the 1880's?</h3>

How long would it have taken to travel from Finland to North America in the 1880's? (Assuming they would travel by ship)
My friend said around two months, is this correct?


<strong>Finland best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by fluss2k</i><br/>it depends on the type of ship

coal powered steamships - 2 weeks from the uk, i guess 3 weeks from finland

earlier than that, then yeh about 2 months</p>
