| The Statue of Liberty One of the largest statues every made was built in France. It was shipped across the Atlantic Ocean as a gift to the people of the United States. Most people call it the Statue of Liberty, although that's only it's nickname. It's real name is, Liberty Enlightening the World. It is on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. The robed landy stands for liberty, and she holds a torch above her head. If you visit Liberty Island, you can climb a spiral stairway inside the statue and look out window in the crown. At night, lights in the torch make it look as if it is burning. Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was the man who designed the Statue of Liberty. To make the statue, huge sheets of copper were hammered into shape and put together over an iron framework. If you visit Frane, you can see a small model of the Statue of Liberty on a bridge over the Seine River in Paris. |
