NEW @ CROTON HISTORY & MYSTERIES: RUM-RUNNING SUBS OFF CROTON POINT?

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

A really fascinating new Post at CROTON HISTORY & MYSTERIES: Rum-running submarines off Croton Point? A recently published book, Smugglers, Bootleggers and Scofflaws: Prohibition and New York City by Ellen NicKenzie Lawson, contains an amazing 1924 aerial photo, purporting to show rum-smuggling submarines in the Hudson River near Croton Point.

    My father told me that Canadian scotch would come by boat from Haverstraw. The boat would moor quickly somewhere along the waterfront and the scotch offloaded by row boat.
