When the U.S. enacted prohibition in 1920, the Canadian government denounced the demon rum & yet provided both the operating base & the raw materials for the multi-billion-dollar industry of the eager entrepreneurs of Rum Row. The Collectors names names of people & corporations who made fortunes matching wits with the men & women of Customs & Excise.
