Digital Transgender Archive
The three attached ship manifest pages are the official record of Frank Woodhull's entry into the United States and the Board of Special Inquiry hearing that decided to admit him. Frank appears on line 17 of the first two pages and on line 9 of the hearing record. These documents show that he stayed on the island for one night, was initially sent to the Ellis hospital, and then was sent to a hearing that ruled in his favor. Item sourced from the National Archives and Records Administration.
