The Borglum Effect
Numerous modifications were made to Bartholdi's Statue of Liberty's flame in an effort to have the sculpture serve as a beacon in the harbor. The textured glass panels installed in 1916 were the idea of Gutzon Borglum who years later completed Mount Rushmore. Although the illumination from the flame was an improvement, the design enabled moisture into the sculpture, compromising iron supports inside. The original flame was removed in 1984. You may visit the flame inside the Statue of Liberty Museum. Come SEE the light: www.nps.gov/stli

Did you see the RAF fly over the Statue of Liberty this morning? These are great photos of the event!What a day for the RAF Red Arrows photographers currently capturing the famous jets on their #RedArrowsTour.
Imagine being in the air today, hearing the usual call signs, Red 1, 4, 7, Dojo and Loco, wait Dojo and Loco?... That’s right, today was anything but usual with the Reds flying over New York City alongside the F-22 Raptor Demo Team (Loco) and the U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II Demonstration Team (Dojo).
Along with showering the great city with Red, White and Blue smoke, the nine red jets went over the The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, Inc. wowing New Yorkers.
French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson was born on this day in 1908. An early user of 35 mm film, he is considered the master of candid photography and helped develop street photography. He is listed on this 1935 ship manifest from our arrival database, sailing from Vera Cruz, Mexico to the Port of NY, en route to Buenos Aires, Argentina bit.ly/1HYrTuA.
Lady Liberty has withstood all kinds of weather during her 132 years overlooking New York Harbor. Did you know that 50 mph winds cause the Statue to sway up to 3 inches and her torch up to 6 inches?
Our database of nearly 65 million ship passenger records from 1820 through 1957—where information about each passenger was written down and was used to examine immigrants upon arrival in the United States—might contain the immigration arrival of your ancestors! To prepare for a successful search, gather as much information as you can, such as: the passenger's first and last names; approximate year of arrival; ethnicity (which may include race, nationality, and religion); approximate age on arrival; ship of travel; port of departure; and whether the passenger traveled with other family members. You can search for your relatives in these immigration records while visiting the American Family Immigration History Center® at Ellis Island or online bit.ly/2SEgNJ6. #TipTuesday
We are pleased to learn so many of you here found your relatives in our Ellis Island database. Do you have any search tips to share?
Wis icoulddomore i dexing on Family Search. My eyes will not allow it. but it was inspiring to see how our and other families came to this beautiful country of ours and to realize that they helped to build their and our country!🇺🇸🌹❤️
Thanks to you The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, Inc. I found both my Grandparents manifests in 1907 and 1908...Will never forget your addition to my family history <3
Questa è la scheda di mia nonna. Due anni prima è arrivato in America anche mio nonno
It does, My Dads arrival in America 1952"
In searching for passenger lists I found that some of my relatives last names are spelled incorrectly, was that something common to happen?
Found her!!
