Pen and ink and pencil on tracing paper, n.d., annotated in ink: "Captain Nemos [sic] Island / Vulcania," "Nightly eruption / of Vulcania preceeds [sic] / fire works show," "New passage from open sea to crater," with 3 large photographic or other period reproductions. Goff designed Vulcania, an unrealized attraction probably originally intended for "Port Disney" in Long Beach, California. Based on Captain Nemo's secret island lair from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Vulcania incorporated various elements from that film including the Nautilus submarine, the USS Abraham Lincoln, and the island's volcano. The original drawing features a Ferris wheel and splashdown ride track. Also included are two similar reproductions of the drawing, and a reproduction of a reworked version with variations. Original: 16.5 x 18.5 in. Blowups: 18 x 23.75 in. to 24.5 x 27.75 in.
