On June 17, 1885, the Statue of Liberty arrives in New York Harbor aboard the French frigate Isère, in 214 boxes containing the deconstructed gift from the people of France. A quarter-million people crowded Battery Park, as hundreds of vessels anchored in the bay to greet the Isère. The Statue of Liberty was intended to mark the American Revolution's 100th anniversary in 1876. On Oct. 28, 1886, President Grover Cleveland, a former New York governor, dedicated the statue in front of tens of thousands of visitors.
