The scene is bustling with activity as these passengers from the Celtic ship eagerly await their next steps in this new land. The image provides a glimpse into the import history of immigration to America during this time period. It serves as a reminder of the struggles and hopes of those who came seeking a better life, leaving behind everything familiar for an uncertain future.
