Background

Statue of Liberty is France’s 100th anniversary gift to the United States in 1876. The Statue of Liberty in the United States is based on the Statue of Liberty in the Paris-Luxembourg Park in France. The famous French sculptor Bartholdi, Frederic-Auguste completed the sculpture after 10 years of hard work. It was completed in May 1884 and shipped to New York in June 1885. In October 1886, Stephen Cleveland, President of the United States, personally presided over the opening ceremony in New York. The base of the Statue of Liberty was built by the famous Joseph Pulitzer who raised $100,000. The base is a museum of American immigration history. When the statue was shipped to New York, because the Statue of Liberty is just around the route, all visitors and passengers entering and leaving the port can see it. When the ship entered the New York bay, due to the curvature of the sea, passengers on board could not see the tall buildings in New York City, but the first thing they saw was the huge statue of liberty.
