I missed the Brooklyn Bridge and the space needle. I had the Statue of Liberty in my `guess` list.

[David]

Jim; Don't feel bad, even we missed the Space Needle. We gave the nod to the Florida Keys Highway.

The Statue of Liberty was 'built' in France and was given to the USA as a gift.

[Spitfire]

David, The question was a bit ambiguous. The question was `man made` not American made. Is that splitting hairs?
You may be able to answer a question regarding the statue however. We saw a replica situated on an island in the Seine in Paris. Do you happen to know the ratio in size between the two? The Parisian one was obviously much smaller (35feet I think).

[David]

Miss Liberty in France is approx one quarter the size of Miss Liberty in New York harbor..and I see your point about being American built, but for some reason she just didn't make the list.
I've climbed up into the crown on Miss Liberty. There was a time when you could climb up her arm and into the torch.
The island was closed to the public after 9/11 but has since been re-opened.
