In 1892, this lady was getting ready to get off of the boat and enter onto Ellis Island, when a German immigrant crowded in front of her.  Someone stopped him and said "let the lady go first."  So Annie Moore from Cork, Ireland ended up being the very first person processed through Ellis Island in 1892.

Don't know who owns this yacht, but guaranteed he or she is very wealthy.

Below is called the Tear Drop Memorial given to US from Russia.  All of the 911 victim's names are listed on the bottom.  It's in Bayonne, New Jersey and very difficult to find.  It's a shame more people don't know about it.
