Castle Garden and an Immigrant Passage Through New York
The article recalls Castle Garden as a rugged fort used to screen migrants arriving by ship. It notes doctors at the water gate examine newcomers for illness and pregnancy risks while clerks log each person’s name, age and birthplace for records. It reflects on the crowded, improvised conditions and the varied, often harsh, experiences of new arrivals in the Battery area.
