The island in which it stands was previously called Bedleo Island, but its name was changed in 1956 to Liberty Island. She was thought to have been hit around 600 lightening bolts every since she was built. The statue has been closed for renovation a number of times, including between 1984 and 1986 when the torch was replaced. The cost of building the statue and the stand it sits on amounted to over half a million dollars or over $10m in today’s money
