Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman.

Commissioner of Immigration, was a ten-year-old
Italian immigrant when he sailed into New York harbor
in 1907:

remain etched in my memory, particularly that
hazy October morning when I first saw Ellis
Island. The steamer Florida, fourteen days out of
Naples, filled to capacity with 1600 natives of
Italy, had weathered one of the worst storms in
our captain's memory, and glad we were both
children and grown-ups, to leave the open sea
and come at last through the Narrows into the
Bay
