30. It's a feat of American ingenuity and engineering!

Collecting all those huge blocks of stone, carving each of them meticulously by hand and machine to fit together seamlessly into that big statue of the lady with the lamp, then dismantling her, labelling each stone, transporting to that island, and doing the reassembly.

A marvel of engineering, unsurpassed anywhere in the world!

I watched the whole transport and reassembly on TV back in the days.
The Foxx Nuyz commentator was almost in tears, it was a beautiful moment!
