The Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty, arguably one of New York City’s most iconic symbols, is a popular tourist attraction for first-time visitors to the city. This 150-foot monument was gifted to the United States from France in order to celebrate 100 years of America’s independence.

The statue is located on Liberty Island, and it is accessible by taking a ferry from either Battery Park in New York City or Liberty State Park in Jersey City.

1. The Dutch
2. The French
3. The British
4. The Spanish

What was the Statue of Liberty intended to celebrate?

1. Open immigration to the United States
2. The end of the Civil War
3. A century of American independence
4. Economic recovery from the Great Depression

• Her official name is "Liberty Enlightening the World"
• Nicknames are "Statue of Liberty" and "Lady Liberty"
• 150 feet = 46 meters
  
• Dedicated in 1886, it took a decade to built it

The Statue of Liberty

When Claire visited the Statue of Liberty for the first time, she instantly admired it as a symbol of freedom. Claire made sure to make reservations before her visit because only 240 people are permitted to climb the staircase to the top of the statue every day. After climbing almost 400 stairs, Claire received spectacular views of the city from the statue’s crown.

How many people are permitted to climb the statue’s stairs per day?

1. 100
2. 400
3. 240
4. 150

From which part of the statue did Claire receive spectacular views of the city?

1. The nose
2. The torch
3. The eyes
4. The crown

Facts:

• She wears a robe, a crown, a tablet, a torch and broken chains
  
• From the ground to the torch: 305 feet = 93 meters
• Since 1916, visitors aren't allowed to climb up to the torch anymore
• She has been struck by lightning over 600 (!!!) times

The Statue of Liberty

During her visit, Claire learned that the Statue of Liberty was not always the color that it is now. She found out that because the statue’s exterior is made of copper, the statue oxidized over time, giving it the greenish appearance it has in present day. When it was first constructed, the statue was the same color as a shiny penny!

Why has the Statue of Liberty changed color over time?

1. New York's poor air quality has eroded the statue
2. The statue is poorly maintained by the city
3. It was painted green during restorations
4. Its copper exterior oxidized

Facts:

• She isn't built right
  
• The statue moves, both literally and figuratively
• She wears size 879 (US) sandals
