Rainbow Springs near Dunnellon, Florida

From: Florida State Parks .org "In the 1920s, Rainbow Springs was a favorite spot for tourists and locals. As the attraction grew, the river was dredged for glass bottom boat tours; and waterfalls were built on piles of phosphate tailings. A zoo, rodeo, gift shops and a monorail with leaf-shaped gondolas were added. In the mid-1970s, when larger theme parks lured the tourists away, Rainbow Springs was closed. In the mid-1990s, it reopened as a state park. In 1972, the U.S. Department of the Interior designated Rainbow River as a National Natural Landmark. It is also an aquatic preserve and an Outstanding Florida Water."

Pixel Wrangler Thanks Pixel! Listen to glass bottom boat captain Skipper Locket perform part of his Rainbow Springs chant at the Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center (White Springs, FL) in 1956: floridamemory.com/audio/occupational.php#07.

query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=950DE0D7133CE633A... suggests it was dynamite. Albert von Spreckelsen, a contractor who employed non-union labor, testified that on October 25, 1909, several buildings in Indianapolis associated with him suffered explosions. The public library was one of them. Another is shown at www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2163453880/ which has more about the ironworkers' "dynamite campaign" in a comment.
