Canonical: https://mobfiles.org/items/nara-205590826-illicit-still-craven-county-1948-b/

A second Coast Guard photograph of the Craven County still of November 1948: barrels and a box vat joined by metal pipes among trees. The catalog credits the find to the Coast Guard and the Alcohol Tax Unit.

The National Archives catalog title is "Illicit still," local identifier 26-G-11-30-48(4), dated 30 November 1948. The catalog description is the same as for the other frames: "an illicit distillery located by the Coast Guard and Alcohol Tax Unit in Craven County, North Carolina." This frame is a closer view, among the trees, of wooden barrels and a box vat connected by metal pipes, with cloth draped over the piping.

The catalog does not say whether the three frames show one still or several sites. No person, arrest or exact location is named.
