What is The Statue Of Liberty made of?

Answer 1

Freedom

Answer 2

made of copper sheets with an iron framework, depicts a woman escaping the chains of tyranny, which lie at her feet. Her right hand holds aloft a burning torch that represents liberty. Her left hand holds a tablet inscribed with the date "July 4, 1776" (in Roman numerals), the day the United States declared its independence from England. She is wearing flowing robes and the seven rays of her spiked crown symbolize the seven seas and continents.

Near the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor is Ellis Island. This island served as an immigrant station and a temporary shelter for people coming to the U.S. from other countries. Between 1892 and 1954, approximately 12 million people passed through Ellis Island seeking refuge, freedom and opportunity. The main building on Ellis Island is now a museum dedicated to the history of the Ellis Island Immigration Station.

Answer 3

Actually most of your previous answerers are semi right, as we were told in grade school the statue is made of copper but this isnt exactly right. the size of the sculpture is made of a loose alloy of bronze in varying mixes, there is more tin in the copper at the bottom as well as antimony, as the structure goes up, the tin content decrerases except at the juncture of the arm with the torch it used the same mix as the base simply because it is less maliable and needs support there. where the torch comes up from the bvottom and top of the hand, the structure is quite thin and the ladder inside of it has deteriorated somehat over the years which was intended for the torch caretakers. the gold on the torch is more than gold leaf, it's more like 10 mils thick and each piece of the structured glass coated in the gold is still thin enough to show light through the gold coated glass and strong enough to not deteriorate over time though there have been many repairs to the entire structure ove the years....if it was pure copper, the entire statue would have begun sagging long ago as pure copper is very easily manipulated under pressure. thus the coins we called pennies before 1981 were all made of bronze or brass alloys, the pennies we have today are made of tin with 8 mils of copper plating which is a real tradgey because tin and copper form a thermocouple which deteriorates in short order....kudos to the geniouses at the mint, if they had their ways, we'd be paying for our groceries with wooden nickels and spending our waking hours carving wooden nickels.

Answer 4

The statue is made of pure copper on a framework of steel (originally puddled iron) with the exception of the flame of the torch, which is coated in gold leaf. It stands atop a rectangular stonework pedestal, itself on an irregular eleven-pointed star foundation
