Ellis Island

Bridge to Ellis Island

John McInnes of "Save Ellis Island" arranged this photo tour and our group leader was Tony Sweet. After getting our helmets and masks we spent the day in parts of Ellis Island that are closed off to the public. We also were able to bring tripods which are normally not allowed but needed for exposures that can last several seconds. Most of the time was spent in the old hospital including Doctor and Nurses quarters, operating rooms, wards, the laundry, the kitchen, the morgue, and numerous hallways and stairs.
