This statue is located in what is now called Cobh but was called Queenstown in Co. Cork. It is known as the Annie Moore statue. It shows Annie and her two brothers who were the first ever emigrants to be processed in Ellis Island when it officially opened on 1st January 1892. Annie and her brothers sailed from Queenstown on the SS Nevada on the 20th December and arrived after 12 days of travelling in steerage. A similar statue of Annie can be found in Ellis Island, New York and is dedicated to the millions of people who left Ireland during the famine.
