  At age 32, Frank Aloysius Mullen represented the USA at the 1920 Olympics in Antwerp. Mullen was born August 9, 1887 and died September 27, 1945. In this image, Mullen is diving from the platform of the New York Athletic Club summer home, Travers Island, Pelham Manor, New York. Here is a link to an early postcard showing the same diving platform. The NYAC was founded in 1868 and still operates today. NYAC Travers Island Web page.
