Another favorite method was to bribe merchant seamen (many of whom were former mafia-connected criminals themselves) to secret a stash of heroin into the hull of the ship, or within their personal living quarters during an overseas trip from Le Harve’, France or another such European port into New York Harbor.
There has been much written about the narcotics trade through the years, and anything I say here is but a bleep in its vast and sordid history on the world stage. Narcotics in all its various forms has seemingly been around forever. The narcotics trade across the world is an incalculable multi-zillion dollar underworld industry. NOTHING can match its allure and unbelievable quick profits.
