I was at Ellis Island July 3rd and was told by one of the guides that
Liberty and Ellis Islands ARE part of New York, It is the water rights
that are owned by New Jersey.

So anything on the Islands belong to NY but anything dug up below a
certain point (like the water level I beleave) belongs to New Jersey.
