54:07Now PlayingDr. William Thiesen is the Atlantic-area historian for the U.S. Coast Guard and author of Industrializing American Shipbuilding: The Transformation of Ship Design and Construction, 1820–1920 and Cruise of the Dashing Wave: Rounding Cape Horn in 1860 (University Press of Florida, 2009 and 2010, respectively).
On the NASOH Video/Podcast he discussed the U.S. Coast Guard's role in enforcing Prohibition, commonly referred to as the Rum War. This included discussions on the tactics and technologies employed by the Coast Guard, including new cutters and aircraft, and the use of intelligence. This was the largest expansion in the history of the Coast Guard up to that date and had a significant impact on their ability to prosecute the anti-submarine campaign and amphibious warfare in the Second World War.
