Twelve million immigrants passed through Ellis Island from 1892 to 1954 after journeys that could take weeks under difficult conditions, seeking a better life and the opportunity to attain the American dream for themselves and their descendants. In New York Harbor, it is typically colder and more windy than elsewhere in the New York City metropolitan area, with cold, damp winters, spring and fall ranging from chilly to warm, and summers that are warm to hot and humid.
