Answer:

The Statue of Liberty arrived in New York on this day in 1885 aboard the French frigate Isère — in 214 crates that held the disassembled gift from the people of France. Nearly a quarter-of-a-million onlookers lined Battery Park, while hundreds of boats pulled into the harbor to welcome the Isère.
