A Pair of Ellis Island Videos

If you haven't had the opportunity to travel to Ellis Island yourself, these videos provide a nice overview -- and of course, I'm pleased that they're both set to Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears, a song about Ellis Island and Annie Moore that I've always found quite touching. They'll need to correct the song, though, because we now know she was 17 when she arrived, not 15 as the song says several times.
