Boat from Manhattan to Staten Island - Statue of Liberty
The statue of Liberty is one the most recognizabe symbols in the USA. From Manhattan NY, there's a free ferry boat that goes to Staten island (commuter boat), but on the way to the Island, we get to see the marvelous Statue and the backdrop of the Manhattan Skyline.
From Wikipedia about the Statue of Liberty - "The Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World; French: La Liberté éclairant le monde) is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, designed by Frédéric Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886. The statue, a gift to the United States from the people of France, is of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, who bears a torch and a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law) upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence. A broken chain lies at her feet. The statue has become an icon of freedom and of the United States."
