Captured History: Check Out These Captivating Photos From The Past And Their Equally Enthralling Backstories!
The Statue Of Liberty’s Balcony
This photo from a bird’s perspective of the Statue of Liberty’s head was taken just before the explosion that took place on Black Tom Island on July 30, 1916. An assault organized by the German empire caused the deaths of seven individuals, as well as damage to many residences and the monument itself.
As a result, many people’s perceptions of Germany were altered. Due to the damage that was done to the torch-wielding sculpture, tourists have been unable to enter inside the statue’s crown for many decades now. During World War I, the island served as a distribution hub for weaponry that was being sent to Europe.
