The French people had the "Statue of Liberty" built (and sent it in pieces by ships and reassembles in the NY harbor) to America to celebrate the 100th birthday of Americas Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.
This footage was shot by Jim Wyler. It begins on a tour explaining the book title: 1776 in Roman numerals. The video continues with the newly built museum that was shut down during COVID. Jim Wyler spent a week video taping the area and was able to capture an epic shot of the “Statue of Liberty” with the sun setting perfectly behind the head of the statue. There was also a flag waving off in the distance.
The previous video showed the early morning statue shot from the New Jersey “Liberty Park”. This park is the best way to get tickets and park your car for the experience. Parking in Manhattan is quite difficult. You do not have to sign up for a tour.
A ticket for the boat ride is all you need. Tours are nice and informative but are not necessary to see the sights.
Don't forget Ellis Island. It is one of the boat tickets. Both sites are amazing. This is a historic location that should be on everyone's bucket list.
Tours are optional. Once you are on the monuments you can walk around on your own.
