What happens

A uniformed ship officer in a white cap and blue coat stands on the dock beside a gangway plank, with the Statue of Liberty and a city skyline behind him, while a line of immigrants in old-fashioned clothes waits on the pier, including a woman in a red headscarf and a woman in a blue bonnet and apron. Over the moment the officer gestures and turns toward the group, which shuffles and draws back as the woman in red and others react with alarm, and a boy in a dark outfit at the right edge stands by a man with a bowler hat and suitcase. Two sailors lean on the railing of the ship's tower above, one holding a pipe, with a white life ring on the rail.
