The French steamer Isère arrived in New York Harbor on June 17, 1885, carrying the disassembled statue in crates.
The statue had been disassembled and crated for its ocean voyage by January 1885. The Isère transported these crates to New York, where the statue was to be reassembled on Bedloe's Island, a site chosen for its visibility to vessels entering the bay.
