With its future home as a backdrop, the spire that will crown 1 World Trade Center floated across New York Harbor to Manhattan yesterday in several pieces.
The spire will bring the so-called Freedom Tower's height to a symbolic 1,776 feet, making it the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere.
"It signifies that we are back, we are better than ever, and we really show resilience," said Steven Plate, the Port Authority's WTC director of construction.
Nine of the spire's 18 pieces arrived at Pier 25 in TriBeCa from Port Newark in the afternoon. They were to be transferred to trucks by crane last night.

Workers are building a 6-foot thick concrete slab on the roof of 1 World Trade Center to support the spire.
The entire structure should be in place by the end of March, Plate said. Construction on 1 WTC is expected to be completed in 2014.
