Title
The Decline of the Sailor as a Ship Labourer in 19th Century Timber Ports
Abstract
Examines the role that sailors played in moving cargo in Canadian timber ports of the nineteenth century. Discusses the behaviour of sailors during the period, specifically desertion. Analyzes the tension between sailors and ship labourers' unions due to competition for work. Concludes that the tension was ended by technological advances, notably the invention of the steamship.
