Twenty-five miles from Freeport on Grand Bahama's westernmost tip is West End. This now sleepy hamlet saw its share of history during the years of prohibition in the United States. West End became a main transfer base for shipments of liquor from Canada, England and Nassau before being shipped over to the U.S. Famous gangsters, such as Al Capone and Augustus Hepbern, would visit to check on their liquor shipments during this time. Warehouses and bars to accommodate Americans sprang up in this boomtown area built on bottles of rum. Now only a shell of what was, these facilities are open to the public to tour.
