Friends did you know that the Statue of Liberty almost became a Lighthouse?
After its inauguration in 1886, the president of the United States at the time, Grover Cleveland, commissioned the maintenance of the monument to the lighthouse commission of the country.
His goal was to get the light of the torch to guide the ships entering the port. After decades of testing, the idea was discarded because it did not achieve enough power.
Unquestionably, it is the quintessential American icon, imposing.
The Statue of Liberty was a gift that the French made to the United States on the occasion of the centennial of the American Revolution and opened to the public in 1886.
Beautiful place to visit in the city of New York, for its wonderful history and for all that it represents for the Americans.
