From the top of the Statute of Liberty, which 5 states can be seen?

I've just spent 15 minutes googling and have learned all kinds of fascinating things about the Statue of Liberty.  For example, did you know that Thomas Edison had plans to make Lady Liberty give speeches that could be heard up to the northern tip of Manhattan and across the bay?   No mystery why that never happened!  However, it remains a mystery (to me) which 5 states can be seen from the top of the Statue of Liberty.  Hint?  

From the top of the Empire State building, on a clear day, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Massachusetts can be seen.  Is it the same states for the Statue of Liberty?  

Sure is.
