Hank [Maison]... recalls ‘those days of the luggers or oversized rowboats.’ A low-slung lugger, powered with a Liberty motor of aircraft fame, manufactured during World War I, would make its trek from Canada’s shores to St. Clair Shores, any time, day or night. Beneath the dance floor with its glow of soft lights, a heavy wooden door opened to a gaping dark mouth, which swallowed the boat, bootleg and all. The door then slammed shut. The water outside grew silent once again. Cases and barrels of whiskey, gin and beer were unloaded as the boat was hoisted to rest until the next run.”

Bootlegging may not be a glamorous past but it’s an undeniable part of the City’s history. Many businesses and long-time residents have their own stories from the days of Prohibition and would likely be happy to share them over a pint. The City’s Historical Commission has done an amazing job over the years collecting and preserving some of these stories, archiving the tales as a testament to this unique time.

This story, “Welcome to the Club,” was published in 1986 in Heritage Magazine and preserved in the 1993 edition of Muskrat Tales. You can read it now on the city’s website at www.scsmi.net.
