Thats so 1827...
http://www.niagarafrontier.com/devil_frame.html
In 1827, William Forsyth of the Pavilion Hotel with the help of John Brown of the Ontario House and General Parkhurst Whitney of the Eagle Hotel in Niagara Falls, New York staged the very first tourist stunt at Niagara Falls.
Forsyth bought an old condemned lake schooner named "Michigan"
The "Michigan" was 16 feet from keel to the deck. The water depth at the crest of the Horseshoe Falls was nearly twenty feet deep back then (presently 3 - 5 feet).
The hotel owners then advertised in advance that they would send the schooner over the Horseshoe Falls on September 8th 1827. Printed broadsheets were delivered throughout Western New York and Upper Canada announcing:
"The pirate Michigan with a cargo of ferocious wild animals will pass the great rapids and falls of Niagara - 8th September 1827 at 6 o'clock
