When Lambertus Arrived in 1866, he passed through customs at Castle Garden, a former opera house on the New York East River. There was no Statue of Liberty, which was erected in 1886, and no Ellis Island, which opened in 1892. |

Ships dropped anchor off Castle Garden while passengers and luggage were tendered ashore. The ship would then continue on to the South Street Docks where it docked for re-supply, etc.
