What modes of transportation might a person on the west coast of the United States in the 1910s/20s have used to travel to and from Europe (pre- and post canal opening)?

Japan contains a surprisingly large number of ethnic minorities such as the Ainu. Is the "Nissei" culture/people of Japan therefore mostly a modern construct? Or have the Nissei always seen themselves as different from the other minorities?
