Lady Liberty was finally constructed in New York Harbor in 1876, one hundred years after the signing of The Declaration of Independence. It took a lot of work to make each component of this enormous sculpture and then ship each part across the ocean from France. Then she needed to be put together!

It must have been breathtaking to behold The Statue of Liberty for the first time as she towered over the entrance to the new home of so many immigrants. We are betting many people shed tears when they first saw her on Ellis Island. However, they weren’t as lucky as we are to be able to see this rare view of her from overhead!
