Prohibition

That boat is a beauty. Probably worth every penny by the looks of it. Unfortunately I don't have enough pennies.

Keep the great articles coming Story, I read them all!

Wow. I think you're the first person to thank me for all these breadcrumbs. Well, now I feel all warm and gooey inside.

That boat is amazing. If I had that kind of money to play with, I'd never even think about a Maserati. Frighteningly, after drooling over that beauty, some of the other boats for sale look downright economical. That 1936 Chris Craft is a steal at $45,000.

Perfect for duck hunting, too.

For those of you that have not looked at the link Story gave us, do your self a favor and take a peek! Then go to the boats for sale section, I still haven't made it through all of them. Wood Boats are pure class!

Can't argue with you on that point!

All this prohibition talk reminds me of this video that was sent to me a while back. Even though I'm not much of a drinker these days, it still brings a smile to my face!

Walk away from the fantasy while you still can - I dated someone who had owned an early 1960's vintage wood boat and the upkeep horror stories made Lovecraft sound like Dr. Seuss.

I totally agree - that was a very very nice boat.

My ex had an all-wood sailing boat from '43 when we met. It was quite a handful...

[Story]

At 7 a.m. on Aug. 18, 1923, Berks County Sheriff Edward R. Deem and a cadre of county detectives gathered around a manhole in front of the county jail, then in downtown Reading.

Weeks earlier, state and local police had seized illicit booze in raids of Reading speakeasies, bootleg breweries and rural stills.

Not only did they put the bootleg brewers behind bars, they also locked up the booze in a jail cell.

There was so much of the stuff, a county judge ordered its disposal.

As the sun rose over Reading, well before the day's business began on Penn Street, Deem carried out the judge's order.

His crew dumped 34 barrels of beer and 75 bottles of moonshine whiskey - "bathtub gin" in Roaring '20s parlance - down the manhole into Reading's sewer system.
