I'm Alone
The ''I'm Alone'' was a Canadian ship used as a rum runner during Prohibition in the United States. The auxiliary schooner was built in Nova Scotia in 1923, and for six years, it transported contraband alcohol. Another source says the ship was built in Britain. Its registry was in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. The ''I'm Alone'' was intercepted in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana by () on March 22, 1929, as the schooner was returning from Belize with liquor. The crew of the ''I'm Alone'' disobeyed orders to stop and was shelled and sunk by (). Seven of the ship's eight crew members were rescued. The eighth, a French Canadian boatswain named Leon Mainguy, died. The surviving crew members, including captain John "Jack" Randell, were arrested and jailed in New Orleans.〔
The sinking caused tensions in Canadian–American relations, with Envoy Vincent Massey criticizing the Americans' actions. The Canadian government sued for damages. Coast Guard intelligence personnel, led by Elizebeth Friedman, were able to demonstrate in international arbitration that the owners of the ''I'm Alone'' were Americans, despite the ship's Canadian registry. As a result, the US paid a fine much lower than the amount initially requested by Canada.〔 Captain Randell and Amanda Mainguy, the widow of the crew member who died, both received restitution.〔
