Hello,John.
During Prohibition,Narraganset Bay was a hotbed of smuggling rum too.

massena on the canadian border was also a very hot placed of bootleggers and rum runners bringing whiskey and beer to the lower new york cities. i lost an uncle. he disappeared in 1930 on a prohibition run. the family never saw him again. some real time gangsters probably got him. the canadian al capone also hide in massena until his death.
