Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free...
Bob Weldon
A symbol of hope, freedom and democracy, the Statue of Liberty sits on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. The copper and steel statue wears a crown with seven spikes. What the spikes that emanate from Lady Liberty’s crown symbolize, exactly, is a topic of some debate. Some say the seven spikes represent the seven seas and seven continents of the world, while others say they represent the rays of the sun and show that Lady Liberty is divine. To reach the crown of the statue, visitors must climb 354 steps, or the equivalent of 20 floors, up a twisting staircase.
