Alcohol During Prohibition plus Canadian Merchant Marine

  • サマリー

  • This week, Kate takes a look at alcohol in Haliburton County during Prohibition. Plus, Paul tells the story of Canada's Merchant Marine during WW1 and WW2. The Merchant Marine was a fleet of ships owned by the Canadian government and was an unofficial branch of the Armed Forces. The merchantb sailors were constantly exposed to danger as they helped keep the Allies in the war in Europe, and delivered food to feed civilians in the UK. And they had a higher casualty rate proportionate to their numbers than any of the other military branches. Yet, once WW2 was over they had to fight to get veteran's benefits.

    Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum. Paul Vorvis is the host of the Your Haliburton Morning Show 7 - 9 a.m. Fridays on Canoe FM 100.9 and streaming on your devices. Haliburton County is in cottage country about 2 1/2 hours north of Toronto. You can contact us at timewarp@canoefm.com
