Printed postcard view of a roller coaster at Sandy Beach in Fall River, Massachusetts, circa 1900s to 1910s. The view, entitled Fall River, Mass., Roller Coaster and Bay, Sandy Beach, shows a roller coaster set close by the water’s edge. There’s a large building in the near distance. According to a WordPress blog from 1918 entitled Desperately Seeking Sandy, the amusement park at Sandy Beach had a figure eight, single car, side friction roller coaster, possibly built by the Ingersoll Construction Company. Sandy Beach was located at the foot of Bay Street, close by the Tiverton, Rhode Island, town line. It included an amusement park with a dance hall and carousel, as well as this roller coaster. Alvaro Victor Dubois (1866-1936) was the proprietor and gave his occupation as Manager Recreation Park in the 1910 US Census. The postcard is in good to very good condition with only light wear and soiling. There’s a message on the back, but the card was not posted. This seems to be a fairly rare Sandy Beach postcard A very nice early Fall River MA postcard and fun bit of roller coaster history!
