Annie Moore - “Pioneering Spirit”
Annie Moore was the first immigrant to pass through Ellis Island in New York Harbour.
She arrived, aged 15, on the steam-ship ‘Nevada’ from Cobh, then known as ‘Queenstown’ in Co.Cork, with her two brothers, Philip and Anthony, in 1888.
In 1992 Jeanne Rynhart was commissioned to sculpt a life sized Sculpture of Annie Moore and her two brothers, which is situated at the Cobh Heritage Centre.
Jeanne has sculpted this keep-sake in the likeness of her original statue.
A life sized sister statue of Annie Moore is also situated on Ellis Island.
Height: 260mm (10.25").
The Annie Moore USA Statue will be well packaged for Free Shipping to UK.
