Description

In an era when immigration was once at its peak, the Fabre Line offered the one transatlantic route to southern New England. Certainly one of its most necessary ports was once in Providence, Rhode Island. Nearly eighty-four thousand immigrants were admitted to the rustic between the years 1911 and 1934. Almost one in nine of these individuals elected to settle in Rhode Island after landing in Providence, amounting to around eleven thousand new residents. A lot of these immigrants were from Portugal and Italy, and the Fabre Line kept up a brisk and successful business. Then again, both the line and the families hoping for a new life faced major obstacles within the type of World War I, the immigration restriction laws of the 1920s, and the Great Depression. Sign up for authors Patrick T. Conley and William J. Jennings Jr. as they chronicle the history of the Fabre Line and its role in bringing new residents to the Ocean State.
