Memory Game for Seniors - Niagara Falls

Relive the Niagara Falls Miracle in 1960

Starting at $5.99 – $24.99

Let RetroSparX spark this hair-raising memory from Niagara Falls in A Plunge Over the Falls! The date was July 9, 1960. Seven-year old Roger Woodward climbed into a fishing boat safely upriver from the turbulent waters of Niagara River, the very same waters that rush over the mighty Falls and crash into the foamy whirlpool below. And then the tiny boat’s engine failed. Read the story that brought chills to all that witnessed it – a tale that can only be described as miraculous.

As an added bonus, in Over a Barrel … Quite Literally, read about some of the more breathtaking examples of those daredevils who have, with varying degrees of success, attempted to face down the power of Niagara Falls.
