The original color of the Statue of Liberty was brownish gold and over time it turned green due to oxidation. - 1886
Standing proud, exposed to the elements, the statue has to withstand around 600 lightning bolts every year and, in high winds, the torch can sway by about 5 inches side-to-side! Luckily, it's a clear day as we land here at the ferry terminal and approach.

It wasn’t called the Brooklyn Bridge (at first)
This might be one of the most surprising facts about the Brooklyn Bridge, but the name we use for the bridge today didn’t become official until 1915 (32 years after it opened!). During construction the bridge was known as the Great East River Bridge or Great East River Suspension Bridge, and on dedication day it earned the moniker New York and Brooklyn Bridge.
