On June 17, 1885, the Statue of Liberty sailed into New York Harbor. 
The statue, by sculptor Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi and Gustave Eiffel, was shipped from France to the US aboard the ship The Isère . It took 214 crates to safely pack the 350 pieces that would eventually be put back together in NYC.

“A pilot boat sailing around in search of one of the big transatlantic steamers, about 10 miles off Sandy Hook Lightship, on Tuesday night, ran close under the bows of an odd-looking, bark rigger propeller, with her hull painted white, and a high funnel between the main and the mizzen masts. The man on lookout shouted down the companionway to the pilots that he thought it was a tramp. The vessel was hailed and a voice answered, “What ship?”

“Isere, from Rouen” came back though the darkness, in broken English.

“It’s all right,” said Pilot Henderson, getting into a small boat and heading for the vessel; “she’s got that big Liberty aboard.”
