Minneapolis – Houseboat Plunges Over Dam – This 40-foot houseboat poised momentarily on the brink before plunging over the Ford dam here today to become a mass of kindling wood at the bottom of the roaring waterfall. The unoccupied craft broke loose from moorings near the University of Minnesota and was carried five miles downstream before hitting the Mississippi river dam, where a barge laden with 1,200 tons of coal was halted yesterday – at the opposite end from this picture. Workers jam the doorway of a hydroelectric plant to watch today’s show.
