There's an antique boat style here called 'pirtuvene', literally grain alcohol boat. These boats smuggled millions of liters of pure alcohol through the gulf of Finland from Estonia. Smugglers were gunned down, coast guard were gunned down, people were drinking more booze than ever and boat builders were doing good business both with the smugglers and the cops.
