Wreck of 'Al Capone's party boat' seen in eerie photos of 'cursed' floating speakeasy

Eerie new images reveal the sunken wreck of a party boat where guests of famous gangster Al Capone enjoyed booze-fuelled celebrations during 1920s prohibition.

The former lumber barge, which was said to be cursed with bad luck, was called Keuka. Sold in 1928 it was soon transformed into a floating dance hall complete with live music and bar.

And the man who kept the party boat stocked with booze in the middle of the US prohibition era? None other than the notorious gangster Capone, according to local lore.
