Statue of Liberty, New York NY

Nice I have from my family a helicopter foto’s from the skay of the liberty of Eifel present from france to USA for saving us in Europa I only see in France pari the same bu tiny en dis is the distance smallest liberty’

Jeder kennt sie, jeder will sie besuchen und ich kann es jedem der die Zeit hat und in New York ist nur empfehlen. Schnell mit der Fähre übersetzen und sich die Statue of Liberty von nahem anschauen ist ein riesen Highlight in New York.

The waiting line is pretty long, even though you book the tickets on a certain hour in a day, you still need to stay in the same line, there is no 'fast track' or anything to skip the line, except if someone allows you to step in front of them.
The line seems long but it moves faster than you would expect we thought we would wait 3 hours to get on the ferry, but it only took about 1h15m.
The ferry ride is ok, loved the walk around the statue and the museum was also really enlightening with a lot of interesting bits of history.
The way back - another line and you have to wait again 30-40 min to get on the ferry, you probably won't catch the 1st one there and wait for the next

I've bought tickets at the battery park in NYC, and it was totally worth it. If you plan on buying tickets for the statue of Liberty, I'd recommend buying the pedestal reserve tickets so you can go up there as well. They also have a small museum there, which is really interesting.

This was a nice visit and trip. Me and the family always visit the city and take on adventures. The people (in my view) are nice. You need to know how to navigate your way through the place. The ferry ride to the statue and Ellis Island was nice. The information that is there to learn is remarkable and can be overwhelming. Take a trip and you’ll be glad you did. The food over in the terminal for the Staten Island ferry is pretty good.

An unforgettable experience! My 6 year old wanted to go to NY just to see the statue. It’s a beautiful landmark totally worth it. Will be posting our video in our channel for whoever wants to see more. YT=Diddywatty

Since time immemorial, architecture and monuments have given India her identity. From historical Ajanta & Ellora caves to Delwara Temple of Mount Abu and from Taj Mahal to Meenakshi Temple of Madurai, Indian architecture showcases its elegance and superiority across the globe.  The most prolific creation in recent times, the Statue of Unity, is the World’s Tallest Monument. It represents more than a colossal structure facing the Sardar Sarovar Dam on the river Narmada. It is an iconic symbol of the ‘Iron Man’, who played an important role during India’s freedom struggle and thereafter in the unification of the princely states.  It reminds the world of the towering personality of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the nucleus of India’s integration as a united country.

It was the wit and whip of this ‘Iron Man’ that 562 small and big princely states unanimously agreed to become an integral part of India. The elucidation of the Statue directly correlates with the meaning and value of unity. While, it is one of the finest interpretations of the designers with its modern construal, it also symbolises and describes the quintessence of the statue to visitors. The world’s tallest statue is an engineering marvel that was constructed in merely 46 months.

Sardar Patel, respected for his commitment and drive, took up the challenge of convincing all the princely states using diplomacy and peaceful means, or the iron hand when needed.

The impressive

The statue is a figure of Libertas, a robed Roman liberty goddess. She holds a torch above her head with her right hand, and in her left hand carries a tabula ansata inscribed JULY IV MDCCLXXVI (July 4,1776 in Roman numerals), the date of the U. S. Declaration of Independence. A broken shackle and chain lie at her feet as she walks forward, commemorating the recent national abolition of slavery. [8] After its dedication, the statue became an icon of freedom and of the United States, seen as a symbol of welcome to immigrants arriving by sea.

Bartholdi was inspired by a French law professor and politician, Édouard René de Laboulaye, who is said to have commented in 1865 that any monument raised to U. S.independence would properly be a joint project of the French and U. S.peoples. The Franco-Prussian War delayed progress until 1875, when Laboulaye proposed that the French finance the statue and the U. S.provide the site and build the pedestal. Bartholdi completed the head and the torch-bearing arm before the statue was fully designed, and these pieces were exhibited for publicity at international expositions.

The torch-bearing arm was displayed at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876, and in Madison Square Park in Manhattan from 1876 to 1882. Fundraising proved difficult, especially for the Americans, and by 1885 work on the pedestal was threatened by lack of funds. Publisher Joseph Pulitzer, of the New York World, started a drive for donations to finish the project and attracted more than 120,000 contributors, most of whom gave less than a dollar (equivalent to $29 in 2020). The statue was built in France, shipped overseas in crates, and assembled on the completed pedestal on what was then called Bedloe's Island. The statue's completion was marked by New York's first ticker-tape parade and a dedication ceremony presided over by President Grover Cleveland.

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, and is a major tourist attraction. Public access to the balcony around the torch has been barred since 1916.
