Statue of Liberty, New York - a photo on Flickriver

Statue of Liberty, New York

            A US Coastguard gunboat races past the Statue of Liberty.  The photo was taken from the Staten Island ferry and we were escorted by 2 coastguard boats.  I'm not sure if they usually do this, or if it was because of a terrorist alert as Osama bin Laden had just been shot.

The innovator of the Statue of Liberty was Gustave Eiffel who designed the steel armature to cope with the winds.  The architect was Morris Hunt and the sculptor Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi. It was paid for by subscriptions from French citizens and was intended to honour French-American friendship. 1875-84
