Ellis Island
A great stop after the Statue of Liberty is to visit Ellis Island.
We took the quick tour. You can spend a lot of time there, but not on a whirlwind tour.
They have a computer database where you can search for your ancestors coming over on the boat.
There was a Charles William Cox back in the late 1800's, and he was from England. Since my dad's heritage is English, I do wonder if this would be my great great great something!!!
The reception hall, where the immigrants were processed.

Like traveling on a boat where you can't move for a long, long time?
