Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island: Ferry From New Jersey

Twelve million people crossed these waters in hopes of a new life. By taking the ferry from the New Jersey coast, you follow the exact course of historical ships to reach the beating heart of American history. This crossing grants access to two iconic sites at the port: the copper colossus that watches over the bay and the former administrative buildings of Ellis Island. On-site museums recount poignant stories of newcomers through sound archives and vintage objects. Prior security screening and audio guides ensure a smooth exploration of this historical pilgrimage. It's a unique opportunity to confront immigration narratives with the geographical realities of the time, while enjoying the iconic urban silhouette of Manhattan from afar.
