Supreme Court Upholds Three Mile Limit Ruling
The Supreme Court overturns Attorney General Daugherty on liquor aboard ships on the high seas but rules the ban on bringing bonded liquor into American ports is illegal outside territorial waters.

The decision clarifies importation versus transport within U S jurisdiction and sets lasting implications for naval and commercial shipping.
