Statue of Liberty Club
As Comfort arrives, she has hope. Miss Liberty has seen a lot over the years.
One February 4, 2020 we posted an imaged of Miss Liberty wearing a mask with the post; let’s hope it doesn’t come down to this. Well, it has, all around the World. At this time and for up to 3 or 4 months, she will be practicing social distancing by sheltering on island. Stay home and flatten the curve.
Someone bought themselves a rare Statue of Liberty at auction on February 22, 2020 for $106,250 plus shipping/insurance. A very nice Avoiron number 24.
Very nice too! Alright for some isn’t it! She’s absolutely gorgeous!
Oh wow. Such an amazing thing to own
Fairly new to the auction scene. I was there, it went for $85,000. Why does this show $106,250?
The winner pays a commission on top of the hammer price. That commission is how the auctioneer gets paid. There’s also sales tax.
On this day, 141 years ago, 18 February 1879, A. Bartholdi received a design patent for Liberty Enlightening the World lasting 14 years. Seven years later he would unveil her to the World. A design patent serves to allow the owner to exclude others from making, using, or selling the design.

The medical teams on board will provide medical assistance to the citizens of New York. We welcome the teams on board. We thank them for their service and dedication to their duties.
This photo is from 2001 when the ship arrived after the September 11th terrorist attack.

What time? Do I use the torch, crown, or harbor cam? The harbor is showing nothing.
Let’s tell everyone so they come gather in groups to watch 🙄. Maybe post a webcam so people can tune in from home.

Temporary Park Closure
The Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island will temporarily close effective Monday, March 16, in response to the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak. The decision was made in consultation with the city and the park's partners, including The Statue of Liberty- Ellis Island Foundation. The health and safety of our visitors, employees, and volunteers have always been our top priority and we are taking this step for their protection and to help prevent the further spread of the virus.
We will take this opportunity to begin a thorough cleaning and disinfection operation on both islands. We look forward to again welcoming our visitors from across the nation and around the globe at a time when public health officials indicate it is appropriate to do so.
We promise to keep Lady Liberty’s light shining brightly through this difficult time.

Blood pictures are currently being taken and are changing every minute, antibody tests as they are currently being carried out are purely scary and do nothing. Since there is no virus isolation and there are no pictures of a virus, it is actually imagination, also a kind of education.
My tickets are booked for 11th Jun 2020. However all flights from India to US have been suspended as of now, and travel in May or Jun looks very unlikely. Are the Jun tickets being refunded too, without any penalty? Please advise
During the govt shutdown (when all sites were closed) they opened the Statue because the state was losing $$$ from sales tax, etc. Now they're shutting down because people with colds are causing world panic. Finally, in the latest news conference someone mentioned the 45,000 yearly deaths (in the US alone) from the flu. Yet, 4500 (50 in the US) coronavirus deaths worldwide are closing everything
Thank goodness! Keep our NPS staff and visitors safe.
You can still visit the Statue of Liberty via “Torchcam”.
Poor Lady Liberty...closed again
Wahhh! Douglas, Thank you very much for keeping BRIGHTON out the ISLAND!!
Stay safe and Stand Strong xoxo
Boo, but thanks for letting us know!
I wonder if a mobil hospital facility can be set up on Ellis?
Liberty Esmé-Jade hope this make you feel better ❤️ ...we wouldn’t of been able to do it even if there wasn’t a flight ban🗽
The right decision.
Keep the torch lit!
Stay safe!
Good safety first
Liberty For ever
