The Isere transported 214 crates of parts of the Statue of Liberty. Owing to limited cargo capacity and lack of available big cranes, a small flotilla was needed to transport the statue's superstructure to the US. There were several ships involved. The pedestal of the statue was, however, made in the USA, and this was financed largely by newspaper subscriptions and pennies from school childen, as the Federal Government would not sponsor such a frivolous project. The Statue is on the Jersey Side of the Harbor in New York!
