Passage 4
One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statue of Liberty, was presented
to the United States of America by the people of France. The great Statue which was designed
by the sculptor Auguste Bortholdi, took ten years to complete. The actual figure was made
of copper supported by a metal framework which had been specially constructed by Eiffel.
Before it could be transported to the United States, a site had to be found for it and pedestal
had to be built. The site chosen was an island at the entrance of the New York Harbour. By
1884, a statue which was 151 feet tall, had been erected in Paris. The following year, it was
taken to pieces and sent to America. By the end of October, 1886, the statue had been put
together again and it was officially presented to the American people by Bartholdi.
Ever since then, the great monument has been a symbol of liberty for the millions of
people who have passed through New York Harbour to make their homes in America.
