The song Sean Keane sings is "Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears" by Brendan Graham". I'd been singing it for a year or so when BBC Radio 4 broadcast a couple of programmes about Ellis Island last year. I learned from these that Annie Moore was 13 (not 15) and I think the date of closure was different too. That's poetic licence for you....
