Welcome to America...
With conquering limbs astride from land to land,
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
This page is dedicated to our Abbruscato ancestors, for their courage in leaving their homeland and family behind, in pursuit of a better life. For without these sacrifices, we would not be living in this great country. This page includes photos of the ships that our ancestors sailed to America on, as well as the vital information about the ships. I've also scanned the ship passenger lists for your viewing pleasure.
