  In Oct. 28 1886, a French sculptor named 

Fredric Auguste Bartholdi designed a large 

sculpture called,The Statue of Liberty also 

known as Liberty Enlightening the World who 

stands in New York Harbor in New York 

City.It was a gift from France to the United 

States of America to resemble freedom and 

to greet immigrants from other countries.

  The Statue of Liberty pictures a Roman 

goddess who holds a tablet that shows the 

date of the American Declaration of 

Independence in her left hand and holds a 

torch in her right hand.

   Some parts of the statue have meanings 

for example,the crown represents the seven 

seas and seven continents in the world,the 

windows of the crown represent rays of 

light shining over the seven seas and 

continents,the sandals represent peace to the 

world and to be a free person,and the broken 

chains that Lady Liberty bears is a symbol 

of being free from slavery.

  The Statue of Liberty is about 305 ft. from 

base to torch.The statue was finally 

completed in the year 1885 and was dedicated 

in 1886.

  Since the statue was shipped to the U.S. it 

had to be disassembled.The contructers had 

350 parts to put back together and took four 

months to do so!

   President Grover Cleveland presided over 

the   marvelous event.

    Many people in America appreciate The Statue of 

Liberty stands in New York Harbor proudly to resemble 

freedom to our nation in the U.S.
