Prohibition Rules Rack Sailors On Sea Vessels
Sailors find no liquor aboard ships unless issued from the aft and handed out by the crew. Warnings rise as men boarding just before sailing have their traps searched and any whisky dumped overboard or kept by the captain for distribution in bad weather. Smuggling a day’s supply is possible but would lead to long abstinence until port.
