The islands have long been a French colony, later an overseas territory, and now a Collective Territoriale. The islands have a colorful history, much of it associated with its fishing heritage, its hundreds of shipwrecks that were scattered all around the rocky shores. On the other hand, the islands gained prominence when the great prohibition experiement took place in North America. Pierre became a huge offshore base where the Canadian distillers warehoused huge stocks of Canadian distilled whiskies which were legally exported to St. Pierre. The American rum-runners purchased up to 300,000 cases per month from the St. Pierre facility.
