Description
Photograph of a rollercoaster next to a lagoon in Venice, [s.d.]. The lagoon is at left and is semicircular. A small gondola is being pushed to a dock at right, where another boat is already tied. Two men can be seen, one on the dock and one on the gondola. The large wooden rollercoaster is in the background near the edge of the lagoon. Several American flags are flying from the rollercoaster, including a pair near the top of the lift hill at center. A small covered boathouse is on the shore of the lagoon at right.
