Joseph Albert "Jean" Lussier is known for going over the what water feature at the border of Canada and the United States?
Jean Lussier Joseph Albert "Jean" Lussier (1891-1971) was a Canadian-American daredevil, best known for going over Niagara Falls on July 4, 1928. Unlike the daredevils who had gone over the Falls previously in wooden barrels, Lussier designed and built a 6 ft rubber ball lined with oxygen tubes, he rode over Niagara Falls. Lussier capitalized on his fame by moving to Niagara Falls and selling pieces of the ball to tourists and later used tires after the pieces of the ball ran out. In the 1950s, when Lussier was in his 60s, he talked about plans of building a bigger ball and going over the American Falls, but these were never realized and he retired in 1938.
Fort Covington–Dundee Border Crossing Fort Covington-Dundee is a border crossing connecting Sainte-Agnès-de-Dundee, Quebec, in Canada to Fort Covington, New York, on the Canada–United States border. It can be reached by Quebec Route 132 on the Canadian side and by Dundee Road on the American side. The crossing is notable because the boundary line crosses through the now-defunct Taillon's International Hotel, where it was possible to order a drink in Canada and play pool in the United States. The hotel was built in 1820, prior to the Webster–Ashburton Treaty of 1842, which redefined this section of the international border.
