Ellis Island
You can anchor off Ellis Island, the legendary immigration station in New York Harbor that processed over 12 million arrivals between 1892 and 1954. The backdrop is genuinely stunning — lower Manhattan skyline on one side, the Statue of Liberty just a short distance away on the other. The restored main building is now a National Museum of Immigration, and if you dinghy ashore you can search historical arrival records and walk through the grand Registry Room where so many family stories began.
