William Frederick "Bill" McCoy (August 17, 1877 – December 30, 1948), was an American sea captain and rum-runner during the Prohibition in the United States. In pursuing the trade of smuggling alcohol from the Bahamas to the Eastern Seaboard, Capt. McCoy, found a role model in John Hancock of pre-revolutionary Boston and considered himself an "honest lawbreaker." McCoy took pride in the fact that he never paid a cent to organized crime, politicians, or law enforcement for protection. Unlike many operations that illegally produced and smuggled alcohol for consumption during Prohibition, McCoy sold his merchandise unadulterated, uncut and clean.

  • 威廉·弗雷德里克·麥考伊(英語:William Frederick McCoy,1877年8月17日-1948年12月30日),又名「比爾」·麥考伊("Bill" McCoy),是一名在美國禁酒令時期的美國船長和私酒販。麥考伊船長在從事由巴哈馬向東海岸走私酒類的貿易時,在革命家約翰·漢考克身上找到榜樣,認為自己是一個「誠實的違法者」。麥考伊引以為豪的是,他從不會向犯罪組織、政客或執法部門支付保護費。與禁酒令期間的許多非法生產和走私酒類以供消費的活動不同,麥考伊出售的商品是未經摻雜、原裝和乾淨的。 (zh)
