Statue of Liberty,

 The statue's sanctioned name is Liberty Enlightening the World, but at the moment it's known as the Statue of Liberty. It was a gift to the United States to the people of France in the year 1886. If we zoom in on Europe, right here in France, and across the ocean over here in the United  States. The Statue of Liberty is right here on the East Coast. If we zoom in then, you can see the state of New York and the State of New Jersey. Right in between the two countries is the upper Bay, frequently called the New York Harbor. The Statue of Liberty is here on Liberty Island.                                                     

The Statue of Liberty would be one of the first views that settlers would see coming to the United States. The Statue of Liberty has come to be known as a symbol of freedom.  In her right hand, she holds a torch, and in her left hand, she holds a tablet that has the date of the Declaration of Independence in Roman numerals. One thing you can see from the ground is a broken shackle and chain. This is a moment to symbolize the end of slavery. The length of the statue is 46 meters. Still, it's 93 measures altitudinous if you count from the ground up. That's about as altitudinous as a 20-story structure. Here is the size of a person in comparison to the statue's big toe. When it was complete in 1886, it was the tallest statue in the world, but that title is now held by the Statue of Unity in India. The Statue of Liberty is made up of bobby. That's right, it was originally the color of a penny. It only took about 20 years for the air and rain to slowly oxidize the metal and turn it the color green.

That's lower than the consistency of two American pennies. The Statue was built in pieces, and a Statue this big takes a lot of planning. The statue was planned by the French stone worker Frederic August Bartholdi. First, he made the original form out of complexion. The average adult is a little taller than this. Next, a large version would be twice the size and would be made out of plaster. The next version would be much bigger. At each stage of enlargement, Bartholdi would be able to further perfect the details of the statue. For the full-size version, it had to be built in pieces, so it would fit inside the workshop. At one point, to raise plutocrats, the finished interpretation of the statue's head was displayed in France, and the right arm and arsonist were displayed in the United States. Callers could pay plutocrat to climb to the top of each of these. So how do we get from the plaster model of the statue to the finished copper version? Well, the final version was made out of a sheet of copper. They used a method called repose.

The Statue of Liberty has an iron pylon at the very center. You can suppose of this as the chine to the Statue of Liberty. The structure would allow the statue to sway in the wind by up to 12 centimeters at the very top. This was all first built in Paris, France. Also, formerly completed, it was taken piecemeal into 350 different pieces. All of this was packed across the ocean to the United States. When the statue was finished in 1886, this was called Bedlam Island, but today we call it Liberty Island. The Statue of Liberty has received a few renovations over the years. One of these renovations was the torch. It had been damaged and was oohing rainwater.  In the 1980s it was replaced.

The original torch is still on display. To get to Liberty Island, you have to take the ferry, unless you're a really good swimmer, but I don't recommend that. A ferry leaves from two places, Liberty State Park in New Jersey and The Battery on the southern tip of Manhattan. It takes about 15 twinkles to get to Liberty Island. The islet has a land area of just under 15 acres. This is Flagpole Plaza, the Information Center, and bookstore, and the gift shop. This is the Statue of Liberty Museum. We head down this way to get to the statue. There is a plenitude of areas to walk around, then. These are the remnants of an old military base called Fort Wood. It was used in the early 1800s,  but now it's the base of the Statue of Liberty. If you want to go inside the statue, still, you'll need to buy a ticket to go all the way up to the crown. It's a little harder to get a hold of one of these tickets. You usually have to reserve a few weeks or even months in advance. However, since the pandemic, you can still go to the island, but the public isn't allowed into any part of the pedestal or statue. To get to the inside of the statue, we'll enter from then. These doors are called the Centennial Doors. Remember that you have to have a pedestal ticket to go inside. Enter here to get into the pedestal lobby.

 When the museum opened in 2019, the torch was moved over there. So now the pedestal lobby is wide open again. The old museum used to be here in this area, but now almost everything has been moved over to the new museum. Now it's time to make our way to the top of the pedestal. You've got two options. The elevator is here, or the stairs are here. There are seven floors inside the pedestal. So this is 1P, 2P, and all the way up to 7P, the very top. At position 3P, you can go outsides and view the girding areas, 6P is the sanctioned Observation Deck. You can go outdoors moreover then or then. Once outdoor, you'll get a good 360-degree view of anywhere in the harbor. If you have a ticket to go up to the crown, then head up to level 7P. 

This is where you start your climb up to the top of the statue. This is called the Double Helix Stairway, one way up and the other way to come back down. It carries only three people and can stop at a few of the platforms along the spiral stairway. During your ride, you'll be suitable to see the essence frame that holds up the statue. And finally, we reach the top of the spiral stairs. This area is called the crown. Only a limited number of people can be up here at once. It's a great place to look out of the windows onto the harbor. There's a total of 25 windows on the crown. On the inside, you can even see the individual patterns of the statue's hair. On the back, You'll also notice some lights that will be turned on at night. Once you are finished up here, you can start making your way down the other side of the Double Helix Stairway.
