In an era when immigration was at its peak, the Fabre Line offered
the only transatlantic route to southern New England. One of its
most important ports was in Providence, Rhode Island. Nearly
eighty-four thousand immigrants were admitted to the country
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. Most
of these immigrants were from Portugal and Italy, and the Fabre
Line kept up a brisk and successful business. However, both the
line and the families hoping for a new life faced major obstacles
in the form of World War I, the immigration restriction laws of the
1920s, and the Great Depression. Join 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.
