| Lady Liberty - Beautiful ! |
- Crown has 7 rays for the 7 seas
- Torch is for light because if darkness is eliminated, fear is gone
- Right foot is raised and on the move - not standing still - always moving forward
- Left food tramples chains of tyranny and slavery
- And our personal favorite...(drum roll plz) her 25 foot long sandal is US shoe size 879 ! lol

| Security making itself known - only tour boats are allowed to get close |
 |
| The free anchorage is on the Lady's backside Link to anchorage behind Statue of Liberty via Google Maps |
 |
| NYC on the Hudson River |
 |
| Verrazanno-Narrows Bridge from 3 miles away Suspension bridge connects Staten Island and Brooklyn |
 |
| Its the longest suspension bridge span in the United States |
 |
| Here's a pilot boat taking a harbor pilot out to meet a visiting ship. The local pilot takes command of the ship because of his local knowledge of the waters. |
 |
| Just one of the many ships you see in a busy harbor |
 |
| Staten Island Ferry's were hauling back and forth |
 |
| This ship is for transporting other vessels. It lowers beneath the water until the ship is over it and then comes up. |
 |
| Several lighthouses marked the shoals along the New York Bay |
 |
| We've seen lots of buoy's, but these had big bells clanging with the swells to mark the channel - probably because of the perpetual haze in NYC ! |
