Ask yes, the Cedar Point tragedy of 1869. 27 died, including a Habsburg and two Rockefellers. 42 others were missing and presumed dead. The Navy spent three months subduing the lake by beating it with oars. It was the fastest legislation passed since the DC Forest Incident in 1831
We would never let something like this happen in the Midwest.
Ya gotta watch out for those lakes tho
They outlawed riptides in Midwestern lakes back in the 1870s
