When the United States Government, with the advent of Prohibition turned off the tap that supplied alcohol to the thirsty masses, a determined group of men rose to the challenge- the Rumrunners! These men dared the sea and the might of the U.S. Coast Guard to pass the bottle from mother ships waiting in international waters to their accomplices on shore.
