(Since the article doesn't clarify, I should point out that Annie Moore was the first to arrive at the original immigration station at Ellis Island, which burned down in 1897. After the fire, immigrants were processed at the Barge Office in Battery Park in Manhattan until the new facility on Ellis Island opened in Dec 1900.)
