| [TSL] diverted from Ellis Island | | |
| "JT" <jmwt7@juno.com> on 08/06/2010 | | |
A friend related a story passed on to her from her mother. When her mother came to the United States on the Canada in February 1921, she was supposed to land in New York on Ellis island. However, the passengers were discharged in Philadelphia because there was an eye disease epidemic on Ellis Island. According to Morton Allen, 45 passengers landed in New York, and 1,710 passengers landed in Philadelphia. I have never heard of a ship being diverted to another port because of a health condition on Ellis Island. I feel the Canada had always been scheduled to land in Philadelphia. Could this person's mother's story be true? Jim ____________________________________________________________ Health Plans From $50/mo. Compare Low-Cost Health Plans Online.
