Bill C. of Vermilion sent me some fantastic copies of photographs taken around the era of Rum Run. Of particular interest was those from Huron which played a big part in the story. Bill's brother was a rum runner and used a trap net fishing boat fitted with aero-engines. His brother wrote a book called, As I Remember: Commercial Fishing Bootlegging. I am very glad I met Bill and his wife at my book launch and grateful to him for sharing his fascinating stories and photographs. With his permission, I am using some of his photographs in my presentations and displays.
