by the time it was chosen for the statue of liberty in the 1880s, the fort was outmoded and obsolete, disused and its substantial stone walls were then used as the distinctive base for the statue of liberty given by the third french republic for the american 1876 centenary celebrations. it had become a part of the base for the statue of liberty after the island was first seen by frédéric auguste bartholdi, the statue's sculptor. the national park service (which had been created in 1916) took over operations of the island in two stages: in 1933, and the remainder in 1937. the military installation was completely removed by 1944.
