"Many immigrants had brought
on board balls of yarn, leaving one end of the line with someone on
land. As the ship slowly cleared the dock, the balls unwound amid the
farewell shouts of the women, the fluttering of handkerchiefs, and the
infants held high. After the yarn ran out, the long strips remained
airborne, sustained by the wind long after those on land and those at
sea had lost sight of each other." -- Luciano
De Crescenzo

Across the Atlantic they came; immigrants looking for a new life, in a new land. Sometimes their first night's rest was in the dorms at Ellis Island. |
