The Statue of Liberty National Monument marks its 125th anniversary today with a 21st century flourish, the addition of webcams around its famous torch that will give people around the world a view previously off-limits to even the statue’s in-person visitors. Five web cameras, donated by Earthcam Inc., have been mounted around Lady Liberty’s torch and will stream live video footage 24-hours a day, seven days a week of vistas of the New York City skyline, New York Harbor and the view looking down from her perch high above the ground/Suzan Clark, ABC News.
