| Notes about this image: | Immigrants eat in the Ellis Island dining hall while awaiting admission to the U.S., 1907. The hall and dormitory accommodated 1000 people, but the arrival of 5000 aliens in a given day was not uncommon, resulting in deplorably crowded conditions. World War I began to check the influx in 1915. Ellis Island opened in 1892. |
