The North End: The Beginning of a New Life
 * February 2013 Revision**

 RMS Carpathia//,// the ship used to study immigrants arriving in Boston, in the above activity was the same ship made famous for its rescue of Titanic survivors. Thank you to Gordon Bradford, MVRCS Literacy & History Director who contributed this fact.
 * Hands on Activity**
 * Find a partner (preferably from the opposite discipline than yourself), and create your own immigrant profile sheet based on the primary source.
 * You will have 15 minutes after which we will come back together as a large group and share profiles.

Here's the Carpathia's passenger arrival database used in Mr. Stone's lesson. @http://www.immigrantships.net/v6/1900v6/carpathia19130317_01.html
