	Statue of Liberty NM: An Administrative History (Introduction)
		By 1812 it had erected Fort Gibson on the site, making it, along with Fort Wood on Bedloe's Island, Castle William and Fort Columbus on Governor's Island, and the West Battery (later Castle Clinton) at the southern tip of Manhattan, New York harbor's chief defense.
		In 1877 the United States Congress by joint resolution accepted the French gift and authorized the President to designate a home for it upon either Governors or Bedloe's Island.
		The army wished to retain its headquarters on Governors Island; New York public opinion objected to the use of Bedloe's Island on which the Statue of Liberty had been dedicated four years earlier.

	Archives of Maryland, Volume 0057, Preface 0058 - Proceedings of the Provincial Court, 1666-1670
		Isaac Bedloe, the purchaser of the Hopewell, although here described as �a free denizen and inhabitant� of Maryland, was really a New York ship owner; it is of interest that he owned Bedlow's Island upon which the Statue of Liberty stands.
		A year later at a special court held at Mattapany, Calvert County, on March 19, 1666/7, a similar fate befell the ketch Hope, 16 tons, William Gard, master, and the barque William, John Therise, master, both vessels described as of New England and at anchor in the Patuxent River.
		The forfeiture of ships and cargoes to the benefit of those who sat in judgment upon the case, as well as the award of one-third to an informer who had also, as Attorney-General, acted as prosecu- tor, certainly leaves an unpleasant impression upon one's mind.

	Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World
		The Statue of Liberty itself had then been dedicated on Bedloe's Island only three years before, but was already strongly identified with the harbor and city of New York -- a name featured in our corporate title adopted in 1905.
		William M. Evarts, William H. Appleton, Samuel D. Babcock, John Jay, and William H. Wickham called a meeting at the Cen- tury Club to organize an American Committee for the Statue of Liberty.
		Our interest in the statue dates from the formation in 1889 of the New York Security and Trust Company, whose incorporators were represented through William L. Strong on the American Committee for the Statue of Liberty and its Finance Committee.
