How long did it take for the Statue of Liberty take to be built?
The Statue of Liberty was built in France 1882, was transported to America on October 28, 1886 and was then pronounced the Statue of Liberty.
France and America both worked on the Statue of Liberty. France was building the actual statue and America was working on the foundation for the statue. Both had trouble financing their efforts so the statue was actually about 10 years late from the time the visionaries wanted to dedicate the statue. Anyhow, the statue was completed in July of 1884 in France but the foundation for her wasn't completed until 1886 in America. On October 28, 1886 the dedication of the statue took place after she had been transported from France to the US in crates and then reassembled.
How did the statue of liberty look 100 years ago?
Wiki stand for what I know some may be true other not
Does anyone actually do research before they answer questions on this site, or do they just make stuff up? This answer is completely false and doesn't even make sense.
The truth is that the statue was assembled in New York, using the newly crafted materials sent from France. The statue was not green, AT ALL, when it was first erected. It gained it's green finish, known as patina, through oxidization about 20 years after it was erected. Patination is a natural process, that all copper which is exposed to the elements goes through, it has nothing to do with pollution. The statue wasn't "a little chipped", it was brand new, I'd like to see the references this person used...
Once again, pollution did not have anything to do with the green coloring. If you built a statue out of copper, and then sent it millions of years into the past, before man existed and before pollution, it would still oxidize and turn green. The pollution thing is just a myth.
I'm going to assume the person who asked this question wants to know what the
statue looked like when it was first built and not what it looked like 23 years after, which was 100 years ago. If, for some reason, they want to know what it looked like when it was 23 years old, then that answer is simple. When the statue was 23 years old, it looked just like it does now. The statue was recently renovated and looks about the same as it did after oxidization took place.
