<<And here I thought you made it up! <g> >> Moi fabricate a story? Never. Saw it on a special on A&E on Prohibition. Quite interesting. Lots of money and lives wasted on that. Al Capone's brother changed his name and moved to Nebraska. He was one of the nations best still busters. The feds had special boats made to chase bootleggers. The boat plant also made the same boat for the bootleggers but with TWO engines. The Hiram Walker plant in Windsor, Ont., across the river from Detroit, boosted their production 400% during prohibition. Boats would pick up loads of booze labeled "For shipment to Jamaica" deliver the goods and be back in an hour.
