Photographs of the first immigrant to land at New York’s famed Ellis Island have been unearthed almost 120 years after she arrived in the US as a girl from Ireland, US media said.
Annie Moore disembarked at the tiny island in New York harbor on Jan. 1, 1892, her 15th birthday.
But only now have relatives managed to track down pictures, the New York Times reported.
The pictures show a matronly figure in heavy, plain clothes typical of the period.
They are inscribed on the back “Ma Schayer” and “Mama Schayer” — Moore’s married name — and in one she is holding an infant, the Times said. Moore is believed to have had at least 11 children.
Moore died in Manhattan’s Lower East Side district in 1924, the Times said.
Some 12 million immigrants landed at Ellis Island, a short distance from the Statue of Liberty, between 1892 and 1954.
A handful of Ellis Island arrivals went from rags to riches to become household names in the Land of the Free.
A young English migrant by the name of Archibald Alexander Leach leapt to global fame as a debonair leading man under the assumed name of Cary Grant.
And a February 1904 arrival from Poland called Maximilian Factorowitz changed his name to the more American-sounding Max Factor and launched a cosmetics empire that lasts to this day. (AFP WITH STAFF WRITER)
美國媒體報導，紐約著名愛麗絲島首位移民的照片，在這名愛爾蘭女孩抵達美國近一百二十年後，被公諸於世。
一八九二年元旦，安妮．摩爾在紐約港內這個小島下船，這天正好是她十五歲生日。
《紐約時報》報導，但一直到最近，她的親人才找到這些照片。
照片中的主角是一位身材略胖的中年女士，她穿著當時典型的厚重、簡樸服飾。
《紐約時報》報導，這些照片的背面寫著「沙耶媽」和「沙耶媽媽」（摩爾夫家的姓），還有一張是她抱著一個嬰兒。據信摩爾至少有十一個子女。
報導指出，摩爾一九二四年在曼哈頓下東區辭世。
一八九二年到一九五四年間，約有一千兩百萬人移民到離自由女神像不遠的愛麗絲島上。
愛麗絲島的少數移民在美國這個自由國度白手起家，成為家喻戶曉的人物。
藝名「加里．格蘭特」的年輕英裔移民亞齊波德．亞歷山大．李奇，以其溫文爾雅的男主角形象紅遍全球。
一九Ｏ四年抵達的波蘭移民麥克辛米蘭．費克托羅韋茲，換了一個聽起來更像美國人的名字「麥克斯．費克特」，並開創了一個迄今仍歷久不衰的化妝品帝國（蜜斯佛陀）。

When you twist open a bottle of carbonated water, bubbles rush out with a hissing sound. This drink is simply water infused with carbon dioxide (CO2) under pressure, giving it that fizz on your tongue. But this basic description barely scratches the surface of the carbonated water family. Although all carbonated waters are bubbly, slight differences set them apart. Seltzer is just plain water with artificial CO2—no minerals, no extras. Club soda includes added minerals such as sodium bicarbonate, which creates a slightly salty flavor. This makes club soda suitable for mixing with fruit juices. Sparkling water, on the
