"""""""""""""In my search for this alleged "rum boat" in Winni during the Prohibition (speed boat supposed to have been involved in a chase) I researched archives of the Laconia Democrat from 1920-1933 (the Prohibition)-all 676 issues-during which this thing was supposed to have gone down (shot full of holes or scuttled).""""""""""
Is this 'THE' boat that was suppose to have gone down with a load of rum on it? Something to do with Rum Point? I'm going to search the site, but I'm sure I've heard a story about this.

http://www.divewinnipesaukee.com/divesites.shtml Rum Point - Located on the shores of West Alton, this site has tremendous rock and wall formations. There is an assortment of fish life. Join us in the hunt for the sunken logging truck that sank in 1965 towards Echo Shores or the missing shipment of illegal rum. This point was one of the popular launching sites during prohibition and a load was lost.
