This live webcam shows the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor, one of the most recognizable landmarks in the United States. The camera provides sweeping views of Lady Liberty standing proudly on Liberty Island with the waters of New York Harbor in the foreground.

The Statue of Liberty was gifted to the United States by France in 1886 and has since become a global symbol of freedom and democracy. Millions of visitors travel to New York each year to see the monument up close from ferries, observation areas, and nearby viewpoints.

From this live camera you can often watch ferries traveling across the harbor between Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Liberty Island. The scene is particularly spectacular during sunrise and sunset when the statue is silhouetted against the glowing skyline and sky.

Lightning rod in the torch: The Statue of Liberty’s torch contains lightning rods because the monument is struck by lightning dozens of times each year in New York Harbor.
