The
Statue of Liberty is, of course, New York's premier sight, though
officially it's in New Jersey. A gift from the French to celebrate
America's 100th year of independence, the statue was unveiled in 1886.
Tourist access is by ferry from Battery Park where all visitors now
have to undergo an airport style body and baggage check. If you wish
to climb the monument, even to the lower level, you will probably
need to book ahead by phone or internet, or at least arrive very
early.
The island also offers an excellent museum on the background and structural
details of the big girl.
The ferries run via Ellis Island and its lively and well produced
museum at the same cost, for those who wish to learn more about early
immigration to USA.
