1. Rum rowA rum row was a Prohibition-era term (1920-1933) referring to a line of ships loaded with liquor anchored beyond the maritime limit of the United States. (The maritime limit was 3 miles prior to April 21, 1924, and 12 miles thereafter. ) These lines became established near major U.S. ports so that rum runners could load cargoes of alcoholic beverages from these freight ships and sneak them into port.
