Whiskey found at South Pole
 

I read this article and immediately thought of the alleged load of rum/booze on the bottom of Lake Winni-again-allegedly-due to a chase and subsequent shoot-out on the water between LE and rum-runners during the Prohibition off Rum Point in Alton.

Story goes that the runners scuttled the boat during the altercation.

I'm still on this Rum Point/Rum-runner tale-but have little information to actually work. But my prior posts clearly indicate that booze smuggling was a major enterprise during Prohibition, for the most part coming down from Canada.

2 articles attached. As they are from old old newspapers and in the Adobe pdf format, click on the +- button in the pdf to blow them up so you can read them.


Imagine finding cases of booze from the 1920's on the bottom of Lake Winni? Wow-I bet the taste would be amazing.
