Ellis Island Picture Posting

[Biff83]

I am moving to Colorado at the end of June 2009. . I will miss being able to frequent Ellis as much as I do now.

I guess we'll have to share that cup of coffee at the Colonial Diner when both of us are visiting in New York.

Romano,

I've got a little Ellis Island question for you. But first, a story. In a December 22, 1901 article of the New York Times, it speaks of 4 liners that arrived together and since none needed quarantine, "a procession up the bay and rivers started such as is seldom seen along the waterfront." These included the arrival of my gggf on La Savoie, the first ship, followed by the Philadelphia which was returning John Phillip Sousa and his band from their visit to the King and Queen of England.

My question is this. Would Ellis Island have any photos of the arrival of Sousa??? Perhaps my gggf's ship could be seen in the background, if there were any photos taken.

Just a thought I was having the other day when I read the article. I recently contacted the Sousa Museum and they were unable to help, so I figured with your extensive knowledge of Ellis Island, you might know.

Thanks.

Thank You Michael for the wonderful pictures......... someday I hope to go to Ellis Island to experience what everyone is talking about.......
You will love Colorado from what I hear, my son has been there many times and if he ever moves out of Ohio, he claims that Colorado will be the state where he wants to spend the rest of his life.....Good Luck

Adam, I will happily find out for you about that. The next time I will be going is this monday.

However I did a search for the ship and found this picture. It is probably not the picture yu are looking for but Ithought you would like it.
