The Statue of Liberty, a symbol of freedom and democracy, once had a brief stint as a lighthouse. After its dedication in 1886, the U.S. Lighthouse Board attempted to use Lady Liberty's torch as a navigational aid for ships entering New York Harbor.
However, the light emitted was insufficient for practical use, and the lighthouse function was discontinued in 1902. Despite its short-lived role, this endeavor reflects the innovative spirit of the era.
