Haunting images reveal the wrecked party boat where guests of Al Capone enjoyed booze-fuelled celebrations during prohibition.
Built as a lumber barge in 1889, the Keuka changed hands in 1928, and soon transformed into a floating dance hall complete with live music and bar.
And the man who kept the booze flowing was none other than the notorious gangster Al Capone, according to local lore.
But bad luck followed the Keuka – her manager was shot by a drunken patron, and the vessel mysteriously sank in August 1932.
