“…About 236,000 Jews left the Austrian partition in 1881-1910, going During the years, the smallest number of Jews emigrated from the Prussian partition.

“…According to older historiography, this factor was even decisive 34 . This obsolete thesis is already abandoned 35 , although there is no doubt that the pogroms in Russia from 1881-1882 and 1905-1906 were a factor conducive to emigration.

Before 1914, more than 2 million Jews arrived in the United States of America, accounting for nearly 6% of all European emigration to that country. It is estimated that up to 70% of Jewish immigrants in the United States were subjects of the Tsar, and up to a third of them came from the Polish lands of the Russian empire. Jews from the Kingdom of Poland were the first among the inhabitants of the Russian Empire to establish legal and illegal migration channels.

This article analyzes the original essay "Going Down to the Sea" by David Ben -Gurion, written in 1937. The article studies the historical context of Ben -Gurion's maritime proclamation and discusses the Zionist Organization's increasing interest in the sea as a place of power and influence. It demonstrates how a Jewish conquest of the sea influenced the Jewish national movement in general and Labor Zionism in specific. Moreover, it also shows how Zionists propagated a legitimate and national claim to the land and sea of Palestine and counterbalanced Arab and British narratives which questioned free Jewish immigration to the country. Thus, the article examines the Jewish maritime turn which gained influence after the publication of Ben -Gurion's essay and affected the discourses on Jewish migration to Mandatory Palestine.
