Ellis Island. When many, if not all, immigrants saw this building as they were getting off the boats, they looked at the building with hope, fear and curiosity because they did not know what to expect.
A mother, small child, young boy and a baby at Ellis Island with their luggage. The mother looks worried. She doesn't know what will happen to her or her children. All she can do is hope for the best. They are about to leave Ellis Island and begin their journey.
Immigrants waiting at Ellis Island. Adults sat and waited while children played or stayed quietly by their mothers side.
Immigrants and Ellis Island officials. This is an image of processing immigrants. There are many more immigrants waiting to be processed.
