The Statue of Liberty is in New York, and it’s situated on Liberty island, south of Manhattan, at the mouth of the Hudson and near Ellis Island. It has been offered by France to America in 1886, to celebrate the centenary of the statement of American’s independence and in gesture of friendship between the two nations. It has been inaugurated on October 28th, 1886 in the presence of the USA’s chairman, Grover Cleveland. The choice of brass employed for the construction was made by the architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc (he was born on January 27th, 1814, and he died on September 17th, 1889 in Lausanne.)
Ellis Island has been, in the 1st part of the XXth century, the principal access for immigrants who were coming in the USA. The surface of Ellis Island is 0,13 km2.
