Liberty Statistics

The distance from the ground to the tip of the torch is 305ft 1in.

Winds of 50 miles per hour cause the Statue to sway 3 inches and the torch to sway 5 inches. This allows the Statue to move rather than break in high wind load conditions.

The copper skin was sculpted by Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi and the iron skeleton was designed by Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel.

The total weight of steel in the Statue is 250,000 pounds (125 tons).

The total weight of copper in the Statue is 62,000 pounds (31 tons).

The Statue of Liberty faces Southeast and was strategically placed inside of Fort Wood which was a perfect base for the Statue.

Although the Statue is grounded through the massive concrete and granite base she stands on; the Statue gets struck by lightening many times each year.
