Statue of Liberty National Monument officially celebrated the 100th anniversary of her on October 28, 1986. The people of France gave the Statue to the people of the United States over one hundred years ago in recognition of the friendship established during the American Revolution. Over the years, the Statue of Liberty symbolism has grown to include freedom and democracy and international friendship.
Sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was commissioned to design a sculpture with the year 1876, to mark the centenary of the Declaration of Independence. The statue is a joint effort between America and France and it was agreed that the American people were to build the pedestal, and the French people were responsible for the Statue and assembly here in the United States. However, lack of funds was a problem on both sides of the Atlantic. In France, the cost is collected in various forms of entertainment, and a raffle. In the United States, benefit theatrical events, art exhibitions, auctions and prize fights assist in providing needed funds.
Meanwhile in France, Bartholdi required the assistance of an engineer to address structural issues associated with designing such a colossal copper sculpture. Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (designer of the Eiffel Tower) was commissioned to design the massive iron pylon and secondary skeletal framework which allows the Statue's copper skin to move independently yet stand upright. Back in the US, the funds for the pedestal will be very slow, so Joseph Pulitzer (noted for the Pulitzer Prize) opened the editorial page of the newspaper, "The World" to support the fundraising effort. Pulitzer used his newspaper to criticize both the rich who had failed to finance the pedestal construction and the middle class people who are satisfied to rely on the wealthy to provide the funds. Campaign Pulitzer and harsh criticism succeeded in motivating the people of America to donate funds.
Financing for the pedestal was completed in August 1885, and pedestal construction was completed in April 1886. The statue was completed in France in July, 1884 and arrived in New York Harbor in June 1885 on board the French frigate "Isere" which transported the Statue of Liberty from France to the United States. In transit, the Statue was reduced to 350 individual pieces and packed in 214 crates. The statue was re-assembled on her new pedestal in four months time. On October 28, 1886, the inauguration of the Statue of Liberty took place in front of thousands of spectators. She was a gift of one hundred ten years too late.
Story of the Statue of Liberty and her island has been one of change. The statue was placed on a granite pedestal in the courtyard of the star-shaped walls of Fort Wood (which had been completed for the War of 1812.) United States Lighthouse Board had responsibility for the operation of the Statue of Liberty until 1901. After 1901, the maintenance and operation of the Statue was placed under the War Department. Statement by the President declared Fort Wood (and the Statue of Liberty in it) National Monument on October 15, 1924 and established the monument boundary at the outer edge of Fort Wood. In 1933, maintenance and administration of the National Monument was transferred to the National Park Service. On September 7, 1937, jurisdiction was enlarged to encompass all of Bedloe island and in 1956, the island's name was changed to Liberty Island. On May 11, 1965, Ellis Island was also transferred to the National Park Service and became part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument. In May 1982, President Ronald Reagan appointed Lee Iacocca to head up a private sector effort to restore the Statue of Liberty. Fundraising began for the $ 87 million restoration under a public / private partnership between the National Park Service and the Statue of Liberty - Ellis Island Foundation, Inc., until the current public-private partnership of the most successful in American history. In 1984, at the start of the Statue's restoration, the United Nations designated the Statue of Liberty as a World Heritage Site. On July 5, 1986 the newly restored Statue re-opened to the public during Liberty Weekend, which celebrated its one hundred.
