The Backstory: During transport from New York by a helicopter, the cable snapped and Lady Liberty found herself on Lake Mendota.
I recorded a number of visitor impressions during a 2009 appearance, available in the amuz app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and Vision Pro. (Tap Play category, navigate to Lake Mendota just off the Memorial Union and tap the icon. Swipe through the media and tap to view videos or VR scenes).

Extra Credit: A mockup of the Statue of Liberty -used for fundraising- can be seen at the excellent Minnesota Maritime Museum in Winona, or via a few taps in amuz.
