Liberty Island
Torch bearer's base
Liberty Island is a small island in New York Harbor, famous as the site of the Statue of Liberty.
Formerly called Bedloe's Island, it was renamed in 1956.
The island is federal property administered by the National Park Service and receives millions of visitors annually: We took the ferry to Liberty Island to see the statue up close.
