Additional Description: The cove north of Mori Point was an important receiving station for the liquor smugglers of Prohibition years.
People… can recall an auto engine with attached winch which was permanently stationed on the beach and which was used to tow a skiff back and forth between the beach and anchored rum-runners' boats.
There are also people who can remember a horse barn with hay mow on Mori Point which had been converted into a warehouse.
