Rum Runners Drag Cargo Under River (Jan, 1930)
Rum Runners Drag Cargo Under River
WHEN SLED WITH LOAD OF LIQUOR ARRIVES IN POSITION UNDERNEATH WHARF, DIVER DESCENDS AND FASTENS HOISTING CABLE TO CARGO. THE CONTENTS ARE THEN HAULED THROUGH A TRAPDOOR OPENING IN FLOOR OF WAREHOUSE
HAND WINCH SECRETED IN SHED ON CANADIAN SIDE OF RIVER PAYS OUT CABLE. LOADED SLED IS DRAWN OVER BED OF RIVER BY HIDDEN WINCH LOCATED IN WAREHOUSE ON THE DETROIT SIDE OF RIVER AND RUM IS THUS TRANSFERRED UNSEEN.
I’ed think getting a decent shot going at speed would be impossible...
Well the drug runners sometimes use submarines.
