ye cheeky wee fekker!! 
The history of the Peggy, as a dodger of the excise cutters, is a fascinating one as is the building in which she was hidden.

By the way and that, see Manx smugglers...
"English Passengers" by Matthew Kneale is a fine book about a Manx captain and crew who do a bit of smuggling and after some misadventures end up sailing to Tasmania for a clergyman searching for the Garden of Eden. In doing so they accidentally contribute to the awful effects of European settlers on the indigenous population. Very good novel.
