MORE THAN 40% OF AMERICANS CAN TRACE BACK TO ELLIS ISLAND

12 MILLION IMMIGRANTS MADE THEIR FIRST STOP HERE.

THEY GOT TO THE SHIP BY FOOT, TRAIN OR HORSE.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE IN STEERAGE. BAD FOOD.BAD SLEEPING

IT WOULD BE A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE. I'D BE

JEALOUS OF FIRST CLASS PASSENGERS.

IF I WERE LUCY, I'D BE SCARED OF BEING

SENT AWAY FROM MY PARENTS OR GETTING SENT HOME.

DOCTORS WOULD GIVE A 6 SEC. EXAM TO SEE IF YOU HAD A DISEASE. IF

IT LOOKED LIKE YOU HAD A DISEASE YOU WERE TAKEN FOR EXAMINATION
