Rum running involved the illegal transport of Alcoholic Beverages, particularly during Prohibition in the United States (1920-1933). Smugglers, known as "rum runners," would often use boats, trucks, or even small aircraft to transport alcohol from countries where it was legal, such as Canada or the Caribbean, into the U.S. They employed various tactics to evade law enforcement, including using hidden compartments, navigating remote routes, and operating during the night. This underground network contributed significantly to the rise of organized crime during that era.
