Range of water levels in New York harbor through the year is about 2m (6 ft), so one can compare a picture from high tide in 1898 to one at low tide in 2017 and it can be very misleading. Real Sea level rise is computed using monthly or annual averages to avoid this confusion. https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-statue-of-liberty-sea-level-idUSL1N2RV1SK
