From 1911 to 1934, about 84,000 immigrants traveled the Fabre Line to finish their immigration to Providence, Rhode Island and points beyond. Jennings and Conley trace their steps and the multitude of challenges they had to face following the ride on the Fabre Line; 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 they had to face World War I, the immigration restriction laws of the 1920s, and the Great Depression. Overall, they succeeded in surviving.
