Welcome to the green tour! Im Bob
Morford, your guide. Our first
destination is Ellis Island which was
named after Samuel Ellis, the original
owner in 1778. Ellis Island was the
main entry station for immigrants
entering the United States. It opened
in January 1892, and it remained open
for 35 years. During that time 12
million immigrants passed through its
gates.
The first immigrant to pass through
Ellis Island on New Years Day was a
15-year-old Irish girl named Annie
Moore who was going to meet her
parents in New York. The busiest year
was 1907 when more than one million
immigrants arrived. The last person to
pass through Ellis Island was a
Norwegian seaman called Arne
Peterssen on November 12, 1954.
All immigrants were given a medical
check-up. If they had a health problem
a chalk mark was put on their
clothing. For example, if something
was wrong with an immigrants eyes,
a big E was marked on his or her
clothing. Immigrants with medical
problems were sent to a hospital on
the island and kept there until they
got better. Then they were allowed to
enter the United States. Now lets take
a look at the museum.
