The Cruiser Olympia at the Independence Seaport Museum hosted an extravagant 1920s-inspired speakeasy Friday, June 9. Guests were invited to step onto the U.S. Naval ship and learn from costumed crew members about what the ship was like during World War I and Prohibition, when the federal government prohibited the production, sale and distribution of alcohol. Guests enjoyed live music, drinks, dancing and games. The fun will continue through the next few months on July 14, Aug. 11 and Oct. 13.
