ELLIS ISLAND page 74
Unique in the United States,
the Museum of Immigration is
easily reached by a short ferry
ride from Battery Park in low-
er Manhattan. Re-opened after
extensive renovation, it still
draws large crowds.
Touring this musuem with its
varied multi-media exhibits is
a way for modern visitors to re-
trace the voyage of their rela-
tives.
From the baggage room, I
walked upstairs to the second
floor and entered the registry
room with its giant arched win-
dows, American flag and wood-
en benches.
Overwhelming was the fact
of so many people crowded into
one space. At its peak, Ellis Is-
land processed 7000 individu-
als a day, and most immigrants
stayed there three to five hours.
After the Great Hall, I fo-
cused on specific exhibits about
the immigrant experience.
The "Family Treasures" ex-
hibit showed display cases with
an assortment of valued objects
which the immigrants carried
on their journey; the items were
later donated to the museum by
their families.
Another exhibit, titled "New
Americans," featured close-up
photos of immigrants. I then
saw an exhibit about Ellis Is-
land itself. Titled "Ellis Island
Chronicles," it included photos,
maps and scale models to docu-
ment the expansion of the is-
land.
Before I left, I watched an in-
formative film, "Island of Hope,
Island of Tears," shown in the
museum's auditorium. The film
gave background information
capturing the difficulties of the
journeys, narrated with de-
scriptions from the immigrants
themselves. ❑
