Answer:

It provides a firsthand experience from an immigrant who says the weather was "one of the worst storms in our captain's memory."

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the excerpt from Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman, it states that immigrants never forgot seeing the Statue of Liberty as it was usually the first sight they saw as they entered America. This was spoken by Edward Corsi who came to America as a ten-year old Italian immigrant, but is now the United States

Commissioner of Immigration.

The quotation from Edward Corsi that helps develop the topic describes the severe storms they faced on their way and how he was glad to finally arrive.
