When Ellis Island officially opened on January 1, 1892, the first passenger processed through the now world-famous immigration station was an Irish girl named Annie Moore.
The 17-year-old girl was travelling with her two younger brothers, Anthony and Phillip, on the S.S. Nevada. The ship had departed from Queenstown (County Cork, Ireland) on December 20, 1891, carrying 148 steerage passengers. The trio would spend 12 days at sea, including Christmas Day, arriving in New York on Thursday evening, December 31. With Annie leading the way, they were processed through Ellis Island the following morning, New Year's Day. All three Moore children were soon reunited with their parents who were already living in New York City.
