Ferries carried newcomers from the Battery in lower Manhattan across to Ellis Island, where federal inspectors decided who could enter the country. Between 1892 and 1954, the island's main station processed millions of arrivals, and many passengers spent hours on the boat watching the Statue of Liberty and the city skyline grow closer. The gallery's Thanksgiving grouping may reflect the holiday's shared theme of gathering and new beginnings, but the scene itself belongs to the everyday traffic of immigration. Worth noticing are the crowded decks and the mix of luggage, coats and hats, which show how much these travelers carried with them.
