The Statue of Liberty, located on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, is one of the most iconic symbols of freedom and democracy in the United States. The statue, designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and engineered by Gustave Eiffel, was a gift to the United States from the people of France in 1886, to commemorate the centennial of American independence.
The statue stands 151 feet tall, including its pedestal, and is made of copper. Its design is inspired by the Roman goddess Libertas, and the statue holds a torch above her head with her right hand, while her left hand holds a tablet inscribed with the date of the American Declaration of Independence.
The statue’s copper skin is a dull green color, the result of a natural patina that forms on copper exposed to the elements. The statue’s torch was originally intended to be a beacon, but was closed to the public in 1916 after an explosion on nearby Black Tom Island caused structural damage.
Visitors can take a ferry to Liberty Island to see the statue up close, and there is also a museum inside the statue’s pedestal that tells the story of its creation and history. The island is open every day except for December 25th.
The Statue of Liberty is an important symbol of freedom and democracy in the United States, and it is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. It has become an international symbol of freedom and democracy, and it has become a major tourist attraction, with millions of visitors each year. It continues to be a symbol of hope and freedom for people around the world.
