About This Camera

This camera captures the Statue of Liberty standing on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, her copper-green torch raised 305 feet above the water. The neoclassical figure, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, is framed against the open waters of the harbor with the Manhattan skyline stretching behind her on clear days.

Ferry boats shuttle between Manhattan, Liberty Island, and Ellis Island throughout the day, their white wakes crisscrossing the grey-blue harbor waters. Helicopters occasionally pass through the frame on sightseeing tours, and cargo ships entering the harbor dwarf the statue momentarily as they pass.

The statue's appearance shifts with conditions. Morning sun illuminates the eastern face, highlighting the detail of the crown's seven rays representing the seven continents and oceans. At sunset, Lady Liberty becomes a dark silhouette against an orange sky, one of the most recognized outlines in the world.

Location Facts

The Statue of Liberty stands 151 feet tall on a 154-foot pedestal, with the torch tip reaching 305 feet above ground. She weighs approximately 225 tons and contains 62,000 pounds of copper sheeting just 3/32 of an inch thick. The statue was designed by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, with the internal iron framework engineered by Gustave Eiffel. Over 4 million people visit Liberty Island each year. The seven rays on her crown represent the seven continents and seven seas.
