Sarah Scahill - SS Laconia - Passenger - Arriving At - Port Of New York

This is an extract from the Ellis Island website.

From 1892 to 1954, over twelve million immigrants entered the United States through the portal of Ellis Island, a small island in New York Harbor. Ellis Island is located in the upper bay just off the New Jersey coast, within the shadow of the Statue of Liberty.
