    He's got a cool hat.

    I think he's glad to get off that ship. Now he needs a bath, good meal and a warm bed. Some of my Norwegian ancestors arrived via Ellis Island but this fellow looks like my brother-in-law.
  • Pete Considine said:
    According to the original ship's manifest on EllisIsland.org, he was on his way to visit his Aunt Mathilda Sloan in Salt Lake City. There's also a note about something being crooked due to infantile paralysis, but I can't read what it says.

    Correction: he was from Svendborg, not Svendberg.

[Russian Cossacks.]

  • dancypants said:
    I think these might be Georgian costumes.

    Hi. I assume they are Russian Cossacks either from the Terek or Kuban Hosts. Cossacks from the Caucausus region adopted the way of dress of many of the local tribesman. Especially the "cherkeska", which is was worn by primarily by the Circassians and the Chechens, but also the Georgians. Sort of like American frontiersmen (Daniel Boone) adopting much of the dress of the Native Americans and American cowboys copying the Mexican saddles, the lasso, and the wide brimmed hats.

    This is fantastic! Did they come armed to Ellis Island? Image folks coming into JFK with 3 guns over their shoulder. But I guess it was their most worth possession ...
