Alcoholic beverages were prohibited in Finland from 1919 to 1932. During this prohibition smuggling and bootlegging was widespreaded. Smugglers used fast boats and the hard liquor was often hidden in underwater "torpedoes". The Coast Guard and the Police tried to chase smugglers with patrol boats and airplanes using even machine guns. One of the most famous smugglers was Algoth Niska.

Finally the prohibition law was abolished but many interesting stories remain to this day. During our Smuggler's dinner cruise you will hear many of these stories and also see photos from the time.
