This is great
Joe. I didn't realize the ark was in Chaplin's 'The Circus' (I haven't seen the film in years)
Here's a bit of info:
Noah's Ark was designed and built by Leroy Raymond and installed at Venice Pier, California in 1919.

Raymond filed a Noah's Ark patent application on May 26, 1920.

Raymond's patent led to numerous Noah's Arks across the country. (and in England)
from Clementon Park, N.J.

I believe there is only one ark still operating. It's located at Kennywood in West Mifflin, PA

note that the drunkard fishing from the deck is missing
His name was Ham at Playland amusement park in N.J..

I wonder if he had a name at Venice's Noah's Ark?
