Statue of Liberty
The statue of liberty is a symbol of freedom and a gift given by France to the 100th anniversary of American independence in 1876. In June 1885, the statue was boxed and transported to New York. In October 1886, Cleveland, then president of the United States, presided over the opening ceremony in New York. The steel support inside the bronze statue was designed and produced by the architect vireb Duke and the world-famous French engineer Gustav Eiffel who later built the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The whole bronze statue takes 120 tons of steel as the skeleton and 80 tons of copper as the outer skin, which is assembled and fixed on the support with 300000 rivets. The spiral ladder inside the goddess allows visitors to climb its head, which is equivalent to climbing a 12 story building. The statue of liberty is placed on a concrete platform 47 meters high. The base was built by the famous capitalist Joseph Pulitzer with us $100000. The base has become the Museum of American immigration history. On the base of the statue built of granite, a popular sonnet "the new giant" by American poetess emmana saroch is engraved: "let those people who are tired and penniless after a long journey because they are eager to breathe the free air snuggle up and fall into my arms! I stand at the golden gate and hold high the lamp of freedom."
The goddess held the torch symbolizing freedom in her right hand and the declaration of independence engraved on July 4, 1776 in her left hand. At her feet were broken handcuffs, shackles and chains. She symbolized freedom and freedom from tyranny. It was completed and unveiled on October 28, 1886. The internal structure of the wrought iron statue was designed by Gustav Eiffel, who later built the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The statue of liberty is 46 meters high, with a base of 93 meters and a weight of 225 tons. It is made of metal and placed on a concrete platform. The base of the statue of Liberty was built by the famous Joseph Pulitzer with $100000. The base is a museum of American immigration history.
The statue of liberty is not a historical monument, but an artificial work of art. At the end of the 19th century, there was no air route for intercontinental travel. The only means of transportation across the ocean was ships, and New York port was the largest port along the coast of the United States. As a port through which most passengers entering and leaving the United States pass, the statue of Liberty stands on the island only 3 kilometers away from the southwest corner of Manhattan.
As the statue of liberty is just near the route, passengers entering and leaving the port can see it. When the ship sailed into the upper New York Bay, due to the curvature of the sea, passengers on board could not see the tall buildings in New York City, and the first thing they saw was the huge statue. The statue holds the torch and holds it high in the air. It looks at the front and has a beautiful posture. At this time, some passengers waved to her, and some passengers took pictures of her. Especially at night, the lights in the torch are bright, and the searchlight from the ground of the island to the Colossus makes the statue of liberty clearer and more spectacular. Similarly, when the ship leaves the urban wharf, it should pass by her. At this time, although it is far from the statue, it is still vaguely visible because the statue has a tall base. Some of the passengers waved to her, and some shouted "goodbye" to her. The statue of liberty has become a major sight for ships entering and leaving New York port.
In 1984, according to the cultural heritage selection criteria (I) (VI), the statue of Liberty was listed in the world heritage list (No. 307) by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee and became one of the world heritage sites in the United States.
