This tunic features an iconic image of one of Atlantic City's most astonishing attractions which made quite a splash!  The daring diving horses astounded audiences for decades along New Jersey's famed steel pier, plunging from platforms of 40 feet in the air as many as four times a day.  The seemingly death-defying stunt originated in Texas led by the dentist turned showman 'Doctor' William Frank Carver.  Legend has it, the extraordinary act was discovered by accident in 1881 when Carver was riding his horse across the Platte Rive in Nebraska when the bridge gave out, sending them plummeting into the water below.  When they both survived the dive, he had the idea to try training horses, and his daughter Lorena was said to have been the first rider, though Doc's eventual daughter in law, Sonora Webster Carver, is widely considered the first and most famous of the daring diving girls.
