Pier 21's Online Story Collection

Pier 21 collects stories from those with connections to the Pier and its history; more broadly, we also collect stories from all immigrants during our time period (1928-1971), and from veterans whose service brought them through Pier 21.

If you have a story you would like to add to the collection, please share it with us.

If you submitted a story to Pier 21 and wish to amend it or remove it from the website, please contact us.
