Ellis Island
The buildings on this island processed imigrant from 1892 to 1954.
In the early 800's the iland had been used to hange
pirates. It now received 3 million visitors a year or about 8,200
visitor a day.

Statue of Liberty
The statue was a gift to the US from France
in 1886. It's head was on diplay at the Paris
World's Fair 6 years before that. The actual
name is "Liberty Enightneing the World."

The TItanic - Where it was to dock
The Titanic left Southhampton England bound for NY.
It was supposed to dock at the White Star Lines dock at Pier
59 near Chelsea Piers, instead the rescued passengers
docked at Pier 54 at West Street and 13th Street. You can
still see the words "Cunard White Star" painted on the iron remains of the
dock entrance. Many of the TItanic's survivors were put up at the Jane Hotel across West Street at 113 Jane Street.

TIn Pan Alley
Before radios, many U.S. households had pianos and played the popular songs of the day from sheet music. 28th Street between 5th and 6th Ave is where the sheet music publichers were located. The constant noise of pianos being played along the row supposedly sounded like the noise of tin cans being banged, and thus you have the nickname "Tin Pan Alley" for music publishing, even today.
