Summary[edit]

Description

The Statue of Liberty is on Liberty Island (formerly Bedloe's Island), in New York Harbor. The formal name is "Liberty Enlightening the World." It has been one of the first things that immigrants and other travelers by ship saw when arriving in New York. Liberty Island is in the state of New Jersey. Jersey City is in the background.

The statue was a gift from France to the United States. It was dedicated in 1866. The sculptor was Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The structural work was done by the firm of Gustav Eiffel, who built the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The statue is 151 ft (46 m) high, 305 ft (93 m) including the pedestal.

I took the photo from a boat, which brought tourists from the Battery in Lower Manhattan to the Statue of Liberty.
