Statue of Liberty Reopens on July 4
The Statue of Liberty reopened to visitors on Independence Day, eight months after Ellis Island was flooded by Superstorm Sandy.The National Park Service closed the site just a day after the statue’s crown had been reopened following a year of renovations.Even though the storm surge covered 75 percent of the island, damaging New York Harbor docks and island walkways, buildings and electrical systems, the statue survived the intense storm.
