Liberty Islands

Liberty Islands are what became of modern-day Liberty and Ellis islands, which are off the coast of Liberty Park in Jersey City. In the Fallout universe, they become Enclave bases for opperation just outside Chilltown.

History
The Island are surrounded by water under the jurisdiction of Jersey City, NJ, but was a rare exception, as the islands belonged to NYC. Ellis Island was the gateway for millions of immigrants to the United States as the site of the nation's busiest immigrant inspection station from 1892 to 1954. The island was greatly expanded with landfill between 1892 and 1934. Before that, the much smaller original island was the site of Fort Gibson and later a naval magazine. It became part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument in 1965, and since 1990, hosted a museum of immigration run by the National Park Service. A 1998 United States Supreme Court decision found most of the island to be part of New Jersey.

Access
A bridge built for transporting materials and personnel during restoration projects connects Ellis Island with Liberty State Park, but is not open to the public, and is guarded by Enclave officers. A ferry also travels to both islands, controlled by the Enclave. Swimming is not advisable, as the extremely radioactive Hudson river can not support life.
