Statue of Liberty
There is no more important symbol in New York City than the Statue of Liberty on Ellis Island. Although 10 years in the making and terribly underfunded, the Statue of Liberty arrived in New York in 1884 in 350 individual pieces and packed in 214 crates and dedicated in 1886. It has become the American symbol of freedom and welcome to the immigrants who come to the USA looking for a better life.
