Ellis Island: Ellis Island Immigration Museum

Ellis Island Dept: The Oct. 29 storm bought water levels as high as 8 feet 2.4 metres to Ellis Island, adjacent to the home of the Statue of Liberty, destroying boilers and electrical systems, according to Montreal Gazette. Spokeswoman Linda Friar told The Associated Press on Sunday that the site was still without power, which was continuing to have a negative impact on the physical condition of the building and NEW YORK, N.Y. - The Ellis Island Immigration Museum, which sustained severe damage to its infrastructure from the surging waters of Superstorm Sandy, is not expected to re-open to the public this year, the National Park Service said. The museum "is under repair from storm damage and will not likely be open in 2013," the park service said Friday, as it announced that security screening for visitors to the Statue of Liberty would be moving to temporary facilities on Ellis Island.
