In 1993, the late West Cork-based artist Jeanne Rynhart had the distinction of having two versions of a single sculpture unveiled in Ireland and America by the President of Ireland, Mary Robinson.

The sculpture depicts 17-year-old Annie Moore and her younger brothers Anthony and Philip, who left Cobh on the SS Nevada on 20th December 1891, arriving twelve days later in New York, where she was the first to be processed at the new immigration centre on Ellis Island.
