Gleaned from the archives of the Dublin Dock Workers Preservation Society, The Dublin Docker is a sumptuously illustrated history that frames the dockers’ and stevedores’ significance within our society.
Drawing from ethnographic interviews with dock workers, minutes and documents produced by docker and stevedore organisations, folklore archives and secondary sources, it is an essential and welcome history.
