On the waterfront in the Irish city of Cobh stands a statue of a young seventeen-year-old girl and her two brothers.
This statue celebrates Anna “Annie” Moore an Irish émigré who was the first immigrant to the United States to pass through federal immigrant inspection at the Ellis Island station in New York Harbor when it opened in 1892. Bronze statues of Annie, created by Irish sculptor Jeanne Rynhart, are located in Cobh, Ireland and at Ellis Island, New York.
After arriving in America, Annie married a German named Joseph Augustus Schayer, a salesman at the Fulton Street Fish Market, with whom she had eleven children. She died on December 6, 1924, at age 50 and is buried in Calvary Cemetery, in Queens, New York.
