liquor in the logs
TBHC85 years ago…
October 28, 1921 – An interesting discovery is made in hurricane-ravaged Palmetto Beach, were dozens of hollowed-out logs are found strewn all over the community south of Ybor City. The logs were almost certainly employed in the illicit trade of trafficking liquor – outlawed in the US since 1919 – into the country from Cuba.
