Chris would you fulfill my request by visiting the grave of John philip sousa please and you are a sweet adorable guy on youtube ♥️♥️
Can you do the right thing and do the story of 72 year old Annie Laurie Hearin abducted and missing in 1988?
Her husband was the wealthiest man in the state of mississippi. She was abducted from their home and a ransom note was left in the house with some blood on the floor.
Money was demanded and paid and even someone was arrested, convicted, and thrown in jail in prison and still to this day that poor woman's body has never been found.
An episode of Unsolved Mysteries did an episode about it and it was absolutely fascinating and Terror filled like you won't believe.
I want you to do a detailed story on it and I want you to go to their home and film the house where that poor woman was abducted in Mississippi. Do a detailed story on the whole abduction and trial, take your time and do a long video about it.
I have every confidence that you can do a great video about it and get people to feel for this poor woman's abduction and possible murder.
@@David-vt3hn Also, after doing this, can you please do the right thing, and walk my dog, mow the front and back lawn, maintain the upper and lower pool, go to the hardware store (20" x 25" furnace filter), the post office (a roll of stamps), Wendy's (taco salad), and Big Al's Liquor 'N Smokes (case of Coor's and a carton of Camel's). After that, can you do the right thing, and wash my clothing located in hamper 16C (please do not use Tide), water the garden (please do not over water the chrysanthemums, as they can be overly picky), prepare the hors d'oeuvre I have selected (spinach pinwheels, bacon ranch cheeseballs, bacon wrapped dates, deviled eggs, smoked trout croquettes, stuffed mushrooms, pickled shrimp, radishes and butter curls, phyllo-wrapped brie with hot honey and anchovies, Funions) for the Friday evening gathering of Dungeons and Dragons. And if you can continue to do the right thing, please deliver my ultimatum to the Sons of Irony Amish Community Asylum and Conference Center (SIACACC). Please do the right thing. I'm counting on you to do the right thing. Thank you.
I have pictures of Ellis Island that I took over 30 years ago and pictures from ancestors that came through Ellis Island in the first few years of operation.
The thumbnail had me worried. I'm just glad that this important piece of American history is well maintained.
Just the terminal building the sheds are ready to fall down! It needs to be a terminal again with modern high speed trains.
My grandparents came through here in 1919, according to Ancestry. To see it is incredible. Wow.
My ancestors came from Germany and ended up in middle western Ohio. There is no doubt they came through here. Thank you this was very interesting!
My grandfather came from Germany and settled in Dayton, Ohio.
@@keithreiffenstein9909
I can see it because of your surnames.
Reiffenstein as well as Deubner are German names. But I am sure that, despite your heritage, you can’t pronounce your own surnames correctly…
My family also came from Germany, but they settled in Northern Ohio.
The trains in Germany are an order of magnitude better than here.
@@Tobi-ln9xr Why should they pronounce them in the german way? They're living in America so due to another language in another country they pronounce it in the correct way they should when living in America
My Nana came through their from Italy in 1916 when she was 6 years old.
She said it was terrifying leaving everything behind, traveling on an overcrowded ship for weeks and going through the process on that spot.
Thank you for showing this, and I was thinking the same thing before you said “Imagine standing here during 9/11”
Wouldn’t have happened if America has ever had a solid border security 😂😂 . I see they sucked at it then 2
Chris, that is an amazing Train Terminal. I am so grateful that they have maintained it for all to see and visit. Thanks for creating this video.
I'm glad you used the word "courageous." My great-grandmother came over all by herself from Ireland in the late 1800's when she was 16 years old. Can you even imagine that? I can't. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore." Sounds good until you actually show up and everyone wants you gone.
That poem you quote isn't some sort of US credo. It was added to the base of the statue as a political maneuver to flatter a campaign supporters donations by placing his daughter's poem in a conspicuous location.

Thank you Chris for doing this video it means alot to me as many of my ancestors arrived at Ellis island travelling from Ireland 🇮🇪🇺🇲 did you know The new structure on Ellis Island began receiving arriving immigrants on January 1, 1892. Annie Moore, a teenage girl from Ireland, accompanied by her two younger brothers, made history as the very first immigrant to be processed at Ellis Island.
2:51 I believe those were train order boxes. The train operators would get their written orders out of the box. Tickets would normally be sold in the ticket office, not on the platform.
My ancestors came from Italy, and some from Hungary. Thank you for the history lesson, and the tour.
The ferries had 2 decks. Passengers on the upper deck would disembark and take those stairs (that lead to "nowhere") down to the platform level of the station. There were also station related offices on the 2nd level. Passengers on the lower deck of the ferry would disembark directly to the train platforms.
Caught this right away!
Thanks for showing this. There's so many historical places that still exist yet aren't often covered by media. It was refreshing to hear someone (you) talk about immigrants and what they faced with respect and caring. Keep up the great work.
I would love to see this in person! ❤ The thoughts that went through their minds! Scared, happy, nervous and elated! My ancestors came through here and I'm glad they did❤
I rode the last train out in 1967. Loss of mail and express packages to GM trucks bankrupted the operation. It should be a modern rail terminal.
OH man I'm so glad you went back to the Ellis Island area. That first video was my favorite. Loved it because most of the inside was graffiti free. The murals on the walls there was spooky cool. Thanks again. Love you videos
This was the CNJ train station. Many commuters arrived here and then took ferries to Manhattan
Yes it was used by everyone until 1967
The C N J's line lies abandoned with tracks, trestles, and other railroad equipment. It's still there in towns, cities, and Pine Barrens forests.
My great grands/grands came through here!
Extremely interesting documentary. I'm 45 year old Pennsylvanian and I never was there. So I had virtually zero knowledge of the scale of this operation. Thanks so much for making this video. Looking forward to future content about the surrounding areas. ❤
I always love trains. Yesteryear makes it so interesting. Looks like a beautiful day out there. Thanks so much.
Thanks for this video, Chris. This station should be restored and USED, and trains should be built to serve America, and get rid of some of the highways and half the autos!
That’s insanely dumb. The country is far too spread out for train service to get rid half of the autos.
You should move to mars.
That would be awesome 👏🏻 at a minimum it should be restored and used as a museum
There's a light rail line that passes by, less than a mile away. It'd be nice it they ran a track from Liberty Science Center to the Terminal for people to take the ferries to Ellis and Liberty Islands.
@wolverineeagle its insanely smart to get more trains, but Anericans wont give them up.
BTW Mars is boring.....
What goes around, comes around. The trains replaced the wagon trains and stage coaches and then the subways came in trying to replace and after that the street cars and busses tried to replace the previous forms of mass transit. Now thy are trying to find an adequate means to replace the trains and every thing else. It looks like a never ending struggle to find a better way.🤢
Thanks for taking me on another trip that I'll likely not get to do in person. Great video and story.
Thanks Chris
That was interesting ,I have never seen a video on that place.
You'll see plenty more soon in your recommended, thanks to TH-cam 's algorithms...
Thanks for showing us Chris!
👍🤠
Hello, awesome video
Hey, thanks
Always nice to see history preserved
My grandmother and great grandmother came through there from Germany! Settled in Southern Ohio, met my grandfather and the rest is history!❤
My great-grandparents (and my grandfather) must have come through here. Thank you for showing it to us.
I have been to Ellis Island, and it was so eerily quiet, I could just imagine the people that went through there. I also felt them there when I sat on the bench. I am glad the terminal is still used.
Very interesting thanks for taking us along.😊
That's so cool! I had no idea this was still accessible and in good shape. Thank you for doing this video and letting me see this important piece of American history!❤
Thanks chris
Thank you. Great video
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
This is so very interesting! My Jewish grandfather came here through Ellis from Germany, escaping Hitler. I love being able to see where he landed. Beautiful terminal. This I think is my favorite of all you've done. Thank you Chris.
Seeing the stops for the Blue Comet is so cool. I work at the Lakewood Historical Society and there’s a few displays and artifacts of the Blue Comet since it came through the Lakewood train station. I also know this sign is old because Tom’s River here has an apostrophe, now it’s just Toms River. Thank you for this video. I’m a New Jersey native and haven’t really ever gone up by this terminal. I’m sure my ancestors came through this station by ferry when they settled in Jersey City in the early 1900s.
Thank you love your videos 😊
Stay safe 🙏
wow
Awesome video Chris. Very interesting history.
I have ALWAYS wanted to visit Ellis Island - bucketlist item!
My great grandfather's older brothers and one of his sisters would have passed through there in the late 1910's having travelled from Frenchpark, County Roscommon, Ireland. My great grandfather went the other way and ended up in Liverpool, England.
Thank you for sharing my grandparents view. Very interesting! I bet it was beautiful back in the day. Cheers!
I hope they don't tear it down. Lots of history there.
A very interesting video, thank you.
That place is huge. Thanks Chris ❤️
My family did arrived in that terminal in 1899 from Italy ! They actually went to work even though there was a language barrier! They did it the right way!
You always find the most interesting things.
Very interesting!!!
Wow, my great grandparents and great great grandparents came from Denmark this way! 🙂
My ancestors arrived long before Ellis Island and its predecessor of Castle Garden. They, too, eventually found their way to southern and west central Ohio (via Virginia, Kentucky, & the Bering Land Bridge).
Thanks for this trip.
So much history. Thanks for sharing Chris 👍🏻
Thanks!
the shed is a mess rusted bad and needs alot of help the station is very nice
I love when I am at a place I know my ancestors were and just envision them at that place.. walking around.. what were they thinking.. what kind of people were they. Sometimes I wish i could go back in time.. I love history so much.
My grandmother's grandfather came through here. I still have a copy of his immigration records from Calabria, Italy.
It's like a gift to lay my eyes on sights Grandpa may have seen on his journey from South Hampton through Ellis Island and his new life in America...
Interesting piece my friend
My girlfriend lives in England and has never been to America before so I’m 100% taking her to this, Ellis island and the Statue of Liberty while she’s here!
I can almost see all of the people bustling around…
Very nice piece of history, Chris. I enjoyed it very much. I was able to see the World Trade Center(The Freedom Tower) at the beginning of the video. I didn’t know about this, until now. Thanks for the tour. Much love to you.😀❤️
my great grandfather went through there in 1914 alone at 16 years old.
I can't imagine doing that. So amazing
@@MobileInstinct yes, he was sent here from Syria during the end of the ottoman empire. i know he had a cousin that sponsored him. he was one of those that spoke very little English. he was also one of those whose name was changed. his name was Joseph Elias Saba Haddad Daggett. He became Joseph Saba while in Ellis Island.
Excellent video; beautiful photography. Thank you so much!
My Papa came through there❤️from Sweden and settled in Vermont. He became a US citizen 1935, the year my mother was born
My great grandparents came from Finland and settled in north dakota as farmers
We've come a long way indeed.. But I wonder, what have we learned?🤔
I knew this was still there, but had assumed it was in ruins. Wonderful to see that it is in such great shape. The drawers beneath the destination banners held the other banners. I can remember when GCT still had the drawers below the electric destination signs.
Very cool! Thank you for sharing
How amazing! Can imagine the people when first coming thru there at that railway area what they might have been thinking at the time and of course the language barrier would have been an issue also. Thanks Chris for sharing, very interesting history.
I've been to Ellis Island and up the pedestal level on the statue. ...and it was crowded!
If I'm not mistaken, they filmed in this station for Funny Girl ("Don't Rain On My Parade").
That looks very very original, thats amazing!
This was very interesting. Thank you for sharing. This place is huge!
My Grandfather as a child went through there escaping Nazi Germany.
It needs to be preserved as a historical location
Fascinating. Thank you.
I nver knew this about ellis island - the more you know!!
Thank you
thanks for sharing!
Thanks Chris!
People probably packed everything they owned in those trunks!
Always love your videos!
That is an awesome place . Good video. Thanks for taking us along.
Very interesting. Thanks.
Great video & thought provoking. How many of us sitting & watching had ancestors that passed thru there. It makes me smile.
The first pizza place in America is near Ellis Island, its on my bucket list to go
Id love to see this place in its prime. Hear /see the people and the trains/ferries
Thanks Chris for this visit. Like many others, my grand mother came through here in the late 1870's and settled in Jersey City. This was an amazing place and it is so nice to see an historical site with no nasty graffiti. Enjoyed this very much.
Thanks Chris! You show me so much stuff fhat I'd obviously never get to see otherwise. Been following you close to five years now brother, thanks again and be safe!
Thank u Chris for sharing this w us.Stay safe in yr travels. 😊
Imagine how many times our ancestors walked down that same path back in the day....... thats awesome
Beautiful tour of this place. Thank you! I'll probably never make it there even though my brother lives in upstate NY. My in-laws have never even been to the city...
My Father's parents and uncle came from Austria to the US through Ellis Island prior to 1910. They probably used that train station to start their trip to southern Illinois.
Hi Chris, thanks for another great video of an important place in American history. Wasn't this station used in the film Funny Girl with Barbara Streisand? Also was it used in the music video (promos as they were known then) for Staying Alive by the Bee Gees? Can anyone confirm? 🤔 Brian
The Bee Gees filmed that video on the MGM back lot you can see it in the film thats entertainment was one of the last things filmed there before it was torn down
Some scenes of Funny Girl were indeed filmed there
@@1USA1st Thank you. I thought as much, as I recognised it from the movie. ✌🏻
@@michaelmcenery7515 Thanks Michael for confirming. I wasn't too sure and a bit confused! 😕
Truly a fascinating video, Chris. It is crazy to think that what has become our lives, had their beginning as ancestors passed through that terminal and boarded trains to take those immigrants to their destiny. I am so grateful for you and your passion. Thank you!
Hi Chris my dad worked on the railroad for many years and I see videos of train stations brings back memories of him thanks for sharing always look forward to your next videos 😊❤
My grandparents and other relatives came through their early 1900's. Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
OUTSTANDING FIND!
I always enjoy your perspective and creativity at sites like this. It drives one to imagine what life was like then.
It looks relatively pristine.
Thanks for the video.
the trusses in the terminal building are iron, not steel. The "tiles" outside were actually glazed brick too. Cool video
The correct way to be an immigrant.🇺🇸
