How much did passage cost in 1911?

[Erin2012]

Does anyone know, or can point me in the right direction.... I am trying to find out how much passage would have been in 1911 to NY on the Luisitania... 3rd class/steerage.
Thank you!

Erin, you'll get R.L.Stevenson's, "The Amateur Emigrant", to read online.
Account of his voyage on an emigrant ship from the Clyde to New York.
