The Story
During Prohibition, the interconnected cellars beneath Bay Street's cotton warehouses became Savannah's primary bootlegging corridor. Bootleggers transported illegal liquor from boats on the river through the tunnel network into the warehouses above. The sealed tunnel entrances are still visible along Factors Walk today.
