Information About

Gambling Ship




State governments later tried to control the effect of gambling ships through the use of convoluted statutes, such as this California law, still on the books . When territorial waters were redefined to 12 nm, this made the prospect of maintaining a gambling ship by any means extremely impractical.

Californian gambling ships appear in several novels of the period, including ''Sing a Song of Murder'' (1942) by James R Langham and ''The Case of the Dangerous Dowager'' (1937) by Erle Stanley Gardner .
