America in Images
As the 4th of July holiday approached, we scanned through our photo archives for a few fitting memories from past trips.
These images were captured during one of our cruises out of New York. Just imagine what the immigrants who were coming to America thought as they saw Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.
On October 28, 1886, the Statue of Liberty was dedicated. It was later designated as a National Monument in 1924, restored for her centennial on July 4, 1986, and in 2011, underwent a renovation of the 125 year old pedestal and the 200 year old fort base from which the statue rises.
A gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States... The Statue of Liberty is a universal symbol of freedom and democracy.
Sailing in or out of NY Harbor is something you should put on your bucket list if you haven't already done so. Some cruises that you could select include trans-Atlantic voyages, Bermuda, and Canada / New England itineraries.
