1 · Spot Lady Liberty

Hi, explorers! Today we're going to meet a giant lady made of copper: the Statue of Liberty. Can you spot her across the water? She's green! Here's a secret: when she was new, she was shiny and reddish brown, like a new penny. Copper slowly turns green over time, and by 1906 she was green all over.

She's big! From the ground to the tip of her torch, she's about three hundred and five feet tall. But her copper skin is very thin, about as thick as two pennies stacked together. Inside, a strong iron skeleton holds her up. It was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the engineer whose name is on the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Puzzle time! She was built in France, taken apart, packed into crates and sent across the ocean on a ship called the Isère. She arrived in New York in 1885, and builders put her back together like a giant puzzle. Look at her feet: there's a broken chain. It's a symbol of freedom. In her left hand is a tablet with a date written in Roman numerals: July fourth, 1776.

Can anyone climb up to her torch? No! Nobody has been allowed up there since 1916. But her original torch is in the museum on Liberty Island, so you can see it up close if you visit. Explorer challenge: count the points on her crown. Then ask a grown-up if you got it right!
