Eerie Pictures Captured Throughout History That Will Take Your Breath Away

Top of the Balcony’s View of the Statue of Liberty in the ’30s

Just before the Black Tom Island explosion, this intriguing eagle’s-eye image of the Statue of Liberty’s head was captured with people within. On July 30, 1916, a premeditated attack by the German empire resulted in the deaths of seven individuals. It led to the destruction of dwellings, and some shrapnel hit the monument.

Many people’s perceptions of Germany changed due to this sabotage attempt against North America. Visitors can still not access Lady Liberty’s crown due to damage to the torch-wielding sculpture. During World War I, the island served as a hub for the shipment of ordnance to Europe to support France and Britain.
