Tub 2
Tub 2 :
A wide, low container for liquids, generally not of any standard size. During the Prohibition era in the U.S. (1920-1933) liquor smugglers often carried their cargo in tubs holding 4 gallons (15.14 liters). In this they were following an old English tradition dating back at least to tea smugglers of the eighteenth century, who used similar 4-gallon tubs. There are some cases in which the tub has had a legal definition. In Newfoundland, for example, a tub of herring held 16 Imperial gallons (72.74 liters) and a tub of salt held 18 Imperial gallons (81.83 liters)
