Crowd of Immigrants Wait at Ellis Island
(Original Caption) 9/24/1920-New York, NY- Crowded to almost three times its capacity, the immigration station at Ellis Island has been closed temporarily until the congestion is relieved. Meanwhile, incoming immigrants are being held aboard the vessels on which they arrive. Hundreds of immigrant families are without sleeping quarters, and the station facilities are taxed to the utmost, caring for the rush from Europe. Photo shows a crowd of immigrants waiting for release.
