Statue of Liberty
Crowned copper colossus
The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, depicting a robed woman holding a torch aloft.
A gift from France dedicated in 1886, it became the first sight for millions of immigrants arriving by sea and remains an enduring symbol of freedom and welcome to the United States.
We took the ferry to see the Statue of Liberty.
