The Statue of Liberty 2017
(Following description from Wikipedia) The Statue of Liberty (Statue de la Liberté), more formally known as Liberty Enlightening the World (La liberté éclairant le monde), was presented to the United States by the people of France in 1886. Standing on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, it welcomes visitors, immigrants, and returning Americans traveling by ship. The copper-clad statue, dedicated on October 28, 1886, commemorates the centennial of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence and was given to the United States to represent the friendship established during the American Revolution. Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi sculpted the statue and obtained a U.S. patent for its structure. Maurice Koechlin - chief engineer of Gustave Eiffel's engineering company and designer of the Eiffel Tower - engineered the internal structure. Eugène Viollet-le-Duc was responsible for the choice of copper in the statue's construction and adoption of the repoussé technique, where a malleable metal is hammered on the reverse side. The statue is 151 ft (46 m) tall, but with the pedestal and foundation, it is 305 ft (93 m) tall. The statue is the central part of Statue of Liberty National Monument, administered by the National Park Service.

This is one of the more inspirational destinations in America - riding by ferry boat to both Liberty Island and Ellis Island adds to the experience in a way I wouldn't have imagined. The cruise through the heart of New York Harbor to the monument is a must for every American and a symbol of freedom recognized throughout the world. The Statue Cruises can be boarded at Battery Park in New York City's Manhattan waterfront or from Liberty City, New Jersey.

9 Secrets of the Statue of Liberty Most Americans Don't Know
The Statue of Liberty is one of the most (if not THE most) famous monuments in the world. Anyone visiting New York City can see her, but not everyone knows that Lady Liberty has her own secrets. One of them is – she might not even be a lady at all!
Or do you know, for example, that number seven meant a lot for the Statue's creators? It's easy to notice the Statue has seven spikes on its crown, symbolizing universal liberty across the seven oceans and continents. But there are less obvious references to the number seven. Btw, you can see this monument not in NYC only!

SUMMARY:
- It's really hard to picture it, but the Statue actually arrived from France on June 17, 1885, in over 300 copper pieces. The precious cargo was traveling in 214 crates on the French ship, Isère.
- Then, American newspaper magnate Joseph Pulitzer stepped in. Even though 80% of the donations were small ones from middle-class citizens, Pulitzer managed to collect the necessary amount from over 120,000 donors.
- The Statue of Liberty is made of copper, so it was originally about the same color as a penny. According to the New York Historical Society, it turned completely green because of oxidation by 1920.
- The statue was originaly supposed to serve as a lighthouse for ships sailing into New York Harbor. And, two years after it arrived in the US, it actually became one.
- There are 16 leaves around the torch, and the monument itself is 151 feet tall. The sum of both those digits is seven as well. Clearly, that number meant a lot for the Statue's creators.
- Famous engineer Alexander Gustave Eiffel helped design the steel internal framework to keep the statue stable. It's strong enough to withstand around 600 bolts of lightning a year.
- Most people are positive it's a representation of the Roman goddess of freedom, Libertas. The widely accepted story is that Bartholdi modeled her face after his mother.
- Author and journalist, Elizabeth Mitchell, however, claims that the sculptor actually used his brother's face as a model!
- Another theory was presented by French writer Nathalie Salmon, who claims Lady Liberty was modeled after her ancestor Sarah Salmon.
- You can find a smaller Statue of Liberty, which was the original model for its big sister, in the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris. It's been there since 1906, after Bartholdi gave it to the Luxembourg museum for the World’s Fair of 1900.

LIBERTY STATUE THE FRENCH HAVE TAKEN A LIBERTY SEEN HERE IN COLMAR FRANCE.
The world's largest replica of the Statue of Liberty, 12 meters high, was unveiled 4 July 2004 in Colmar, Alsace, France to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. Colmar is the birthplace of Bartholdi, the sculptor of the Statue of Liberty.
The new statue was installed on a roundabout in a commercial zone where it welcomes visitors at the northern entrance to the picturesque Alsatian city, prefecture of Haut-Rhin.
The 2004 sculpture was officially inaugurated on American Independence Day, July 4th, in the presence of Bernadette Chirac, the wife of president Jacques Chirac, the Secretary General of the European Council, the French Minister for Foreign Trade; Christopher Davis, consul general of the United States in Strasbourg, and American professional singer Jessye Norman.
Mrs. Chirac withdrew the American flag which covered the plaque installed in front of the work by sculptor Guillaume Roche. According to Mr. Roche, his work is the largest copy of the Statue of the Liberty, built in 1886 in New York harbor by Bartholdi with the aid of Gustave Eiffel.
The original statue towers more than 90 meters above New York Harbor - the statue itself standing 46.05 meters (151 feet, one inch) tall on a 47-meter pedestal. France gave the statue to the United States as a symbol of the friendship that started during the American Revolution. A small replica stands in Paris on an island near the Grenelle bridge in the Seine, near the Eiffel Tower.
To create the new statue, Roche used one of Bartholdi's original models, which is kept at the museum in Colmar dedicated to his work. He built a statue 10 times the size of the 128-centimeter model. Roche then cut it into 42 pieces, moulded them in plaster and reproduced them in the polyester resin. Roche's Lady Liberty is designed to resist the shock of being hit by a truck, and also to resist the ill effects of pollution and decay due to the anti-graffiti substance with which it is coated.
Colmar Statue Statistics:
12 meters high; 10 meters circumference
2 tons steel, 6 tons plaster. 2 tons resin.
1000 folds in her dress
12,000 man-hours, 9 months construction time
Cost: EUR 300,000 (USD 370,000) .

FRANCE: ORIGINAL STATUE OF LIBERTY TO GO ON DISPLAY IN TOKYO
Natural Sound
The French are sharing with Japan a symbol of Franco-American friendship known around the world.
The original Statue of Liberty - which is considerably smaller than its more famous replica in New York - was being dismantled in Paris on Wednesday.
The statue heads to Japan as a display of France's goodwill towards the country, just as the larger statue was a gesture of friendship from France to the United States.
The process of dismantling the original version of the Statue of Liberty began in Paris on Wednesday.
Work crews took Lady Liberty apart piece-by-piece to prepare her for a month-long journey to Asia.
The original Statue - considerably smaller than its replica, the famous landmark that stands in New York Harbour - is being prepared to go on display in Tokyo, Japan.
The 11.5 metre (37 foot), 14-tonne statue, whose official title is Liberty lighting up the world, is being taken down from its home of over a century on the Ile des Cygnes in the River Seine.
As a gesture of friendship, the French are sending the statue to Japan for a nine-month stay in Tokyo Bay.
The statue was originally a gift given to Paris by a private U-S group in 1889 to help the city commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.
It was created by the man who also sculpted the larger Statue of Liberty - French sculptor Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi.
His larger work, which quickly became a symbol for welcoming immigrants who arrived in America from all of the world, was a gift from France celebrating its friendship with the U-S.
The statue and its message of freedom will remain on display in Tokyo until January 1999, when it will be taken apart again to return home to Paris.

Secrets of the Statue of Liberty
Surprisingly true facts about the Statue of Liberty! From it’s mysterious and often mistaken origin to the damage it’s endured over the centuries.
#10 Assembly Required
The Statue of Liberty first arrived from France to New York Harbor via steamship in 1885. Considering the jaw-dropping, sheer size of the statue, it wasn’t exactly fit to travel by ship, and so it arrived split and divided up into a collection of crates. As the parts of the great statue arrived, Americans gathered in droves at the port with 200 thousand people in attendance to welcome the great new beacon of freedom. But it wasn’t until 1886, after Lady Liberty was fully constructed, that President Grover Cleveland presided over a massive dedication ceremony over land and sea, setting the precedent for the first ticker tape parade in the process.
#9 Bedloe’s Island
Long before the Statue of Liberty reached its shores, the small bit of land it now occupies was known as Great Oyster Island. The nearby tidal flats of the region were home to massive oyster beds that served as a main food source of the region for almost three centuries! The island would eventually be gifted by an English governor in 1664 to a British Captain, who then went on to sell it to one Isaac Bedloe. It was henceforth known as Bedloe’s Island and served a variety of uses over the next century as private property. The island would continue to change hands over the years, sometimes operating as a farm or hunting grounds, and even being utilized as a smallpox quarantine station. But during the American Revolution, British forces would attempt to use the island to house Tory sympathizers, but after the dust settled in 1776, the island’s structures were burnt down. In their stead, the US Army erected Fort Wood, which would go on to serve as the base of the Statue of Liberty. The name of the landmass would eventually be changed to Liberty Island by Congress in 1956.

Usa - The Statue of Liberty
Dedicated in 1886.
The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in New York, in the United States. The copper statue, a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States, was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and its metal framework was built by Gustave Eiffel. The statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886.
The Statue of Liberty is a figure of Libertas, a robed Roman liberty goddess. She holds a torch above her head with her right hand. The statue became an icon of freedom and of the United States, and a national park tourism destination. It is a welcoming sight to immigrants arriving from abroad.
The statue was administered by the United States Lighthouse Board until 1901 and then by the Department of War; since 1933 it has been maintained by the National Park Service as part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument. Public access to the balcony
