Barry’s GenSites: Ballincity Museum (Hamburg)

Posted on May 17, 2012

More than five million Europeans left for the New World via the port of Hamburg between 1850 and 1939. This site gives you a peek at what it was like for them.  The BallinStadt — Port of Dreams Museum will be located on the grounds of the former "Emigrants' Halls", which began operating in 1901 and were continually expanded up until 1907 to form a sizeable settlement.  View photographs, historical details about the facility, timelines, background information on Europe's emigration wave and more.
