What was the original name of the Statue of Liberty?

The Statue of Liberty was carved by French sculptor bartholdi in Paris, and later it was turned into a metal product with the help of Gustav Pfeiffer. This building symbolizing freedom was a gift from France when 1886 celebrated the centenary of American independence. Since then, the Statue of Liberty in new york Harbor has welcomed hundreds of millions of American immigrants.

1October 28th,1886 10, new york harbor was full of ship whistles and fireworks. With the sound of 2 1 salute, President Grover Cleveland presented the most famous statue in North America to the American people. Since then, passengers on ships entering new york Harbor can see the Statue of Liberty holding the torch of freedom high. For thousands of immigrants who come to the United States, the Statue of Liberty is a guarantee to get rid of poverty and oppression in the old world. The Statue of Liberty has become a symbol of the United States.

The Statue of Liberty was built in France. On July 4th, 1884, as a gift from the French people to the American people, was officially handed over to the American ambassador to France. Subsequently, the Statue of Liberty was disassembled and packed, transported to new york, and reassembled on the huge pedestal built by the United States on Bedro Island (now Liberty Island).

The pedestal designed by American architect Richard Morris Hunt is 47 meters high, and the Statue of Liberty itself is 46 meters high, so the top of the torch is 93 meters off the ground. The Statue of Liberty weighs 229 metric tons, with a waist width of 10.6 m and a mouth width of 9 1 cm. The right arm holding the torch high is12.8m long, and the single index finger is 2.4m long. The Statue of Liberty broke the chain symbolizing the overthrow of tyranny on her foot and held the American Declaration of Independence in her left hand. The seven lights symbolizing freedom in her crown spread over seven oceans and seven continents. The spiral staircase inside the Statue of Liberty allows visitors to climb to the top, which is equivalent to climbing a 12-story building.

The Statue of Liberty originated from French politics. Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte acceded to the throne on 1865. A scholar named Ai Du Ade de Labli and people in his circle hoped to end the monarchy and establish a new French Republic. They plan to build a Statue of Liberty to express their praise for the great country across the Atlantic and inspire sympathy between the French people and the American people.

Frederic August Bateau, a young sculptor from Alsace, was encouraged by Lablee to consider designing this project. Bateau has always hoped to build a huge goddess lighthouse holding the torch high in the Suez Canal, reflecting the light of progress in Asia. He started the new project with great enthusiasm. His Statue of Liberty was influenced by the famous painting "The God of Freedom Directs People" by the painter Derlager Royx. The face of the Statue of Liberty reflects the cold face and expression of his own mother ... The Statue of Liberty is huge and weather-beaten, which brings difficult technical problems to Bateau Di and his engineer (Alexander Gustavo Eiffel, the smart builder of the Eiffel Tower). Eiffel built an exquisite iron frame supported by a central support. The outer layer of this visual statue is only 2.4 mm thick and attached to this flexible internal frame. Bateau first made a small model statue with a height of 1.2 meters, and then made three more, each larger than the previous one, until it reached the correct grand scale.

On the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, there is a museum introducing the history of American immigrants. It was opened by 1972. The first part introduces the ancestors of American Indians who crossed the ocean from Asia to this unexplored continent. Then it introduces the situation of large-scale immigration in modern times. By showing movies, models, photos, paintings and costumes, we provide detailed information about every group that came to the New World, including West Africans who were enslaved and shipped, and Irish, Italians and Jews who immigrated in large numbers in the19th century. Emma Lazarus drew inspiration from the Statue of Liberty and wrote the famous poem "The New Giant", which described the scene that the goddess beside the Golden Gate Bridge held the torch to welcome the huddled civilians abandoned by the old world.

From 1892, crowded immigrant ships arrived at Alice Island next to Liberty Island. Germans, Irish, Italians, Slavs and Jews speak their own languages, which makes a lot of noise. Uneasy anxiety is intertwined with hope and passion, forming a warm atmosphere. At the beginning of the 20th century, the average number of new immigrants passing through the lobby every day was 2,000. At the peak of 1907, Alice Island handled the entry of more than1000000 people. 1954, the immigration station is closed. Now it is being restored, and it will become a national memorial.
