Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of the Liverpool Waterfront 1850-1890: The Struggle for Organisation is a comprehensive portrait of labor relations at the port of Liverpool in the second half of the nineteenth century. After a short introductory background to nascent labor organizations from earlier times, it details the history of dockland labor and the persistent efforts of Merseyside workers to achieve union organization. In the times when the waterfront was packed with a 'forest of masts', before steam finally ousted the wind jammer, this book documents the struggles of the workers and the changes that took place; including detailed descriptions of the increased use of mechanization in loading and unloading goods. Based on the experience of Liverpool workers of the marine and waterfront-a high proportion of whom were of Irish descent-this book challenges long established labor history theories of 'New Unionism' and the alleged inability of unskilled laboring classes to organize themselves. It breaks new ground in understanding the way in which workers organized and built self-reliance. Many of these workers united in a common cause whether temporarily, or as we see in some examples, surviving from the mid-nineteenth Century until their absorption into the modern unions in existence today. As well as being a powerful study of labor relations, David Douglass vividly recreates the hustle and bustle of life on the docks in Victorian Liverpool, where at its height eighteen thousand men earned their living in at the dockside

Book excerpt: It was once called 'the humour of despair'! Thousands of men worked at the 'Liverpool Docks', stretching for seven miles from the 'Gladstone Dock' to the 'Herculaneum'. Dockers endured many long, poorly-paid, and soul-destroying hours, in what were often dreadful working conditions, but their humour helped them through. This book brings to life the 'fantastic characters', their terrific sense of humour, and wonderful expressions peculiar to themselves, in a collection of true stories that took place on the Liverpool Docks during the early1960s. The book is based on co-author Tony's memories of being a young Liverpool docker during the early 1960s. It is packed full of funny true stories, dockers' nicknames, phraseology, working practices and enlightening facts; but also contains some tragic stories to highlight the dangerous working conditions and practices that the dockers faced daily. It is a social document enveloped in humour! 'The humour of despair'. The book will enlighten, enthrall and educate but most of all entertain, and leave you with a greater understanding about a part of Liverpool's history that has now gone forever. It is the only access you will have into the working lives of fantastically funny characters who worked at the Liverpool docks. There isn't a book quite like it!

Download or read book The Persistence of Memory written by Jessica Moody and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Persistence of Memory is a history of the public memory of transatlantic slavery in the largest slave-trading port city in Europe, from the end of the 18th century into the 21st century; from history to memory. Mapping this public memory over more than two centuries reveals the ways in which dissonant pasts, rather than being 'forgotten histories', persist over time as a contested public debate. This public memory, intimately intertwined with constructions of 'place' and 'identity', has been shaped by legacies of transatlantic slavery itself, as well as other events, contexts and phenomena along its trajectory, revealing the ways in which current narratives and debate around difficult histories have histories of their own. By the 21st century, Liverpool, once the 'slaving capital of the world', had more permanent and long-lasting memory work relating to transatlantic slavery than any other British city. The long history of how Liverpool, home to Britain's oldest continuous black presence, has publicly 'remembered' its own slaving past, how this has changed over time and why, is of central significance and relevance to current and ongoing efforts to face contested histories, particularly those surrounding race, slavery and empire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you had been behind the Titanic on that fateful night in 1912, the last word that flashed before your eyes as the great ship was lost to the sea would have been 'Liverpool'. The ship's loss, a national and international tragedy, was also a tragedy for its home port and this fascinating book explores the history and myths surrounding the sinking, highlighting for the first time new and extraordinary stories that link Europe's pre-eminent port and its most famous maritime loss. Using material from the White Star line archives, the extensive holdings of the Merseyside Maritime Museum, new illustrations and a variety of historical sources, Scarth unearths the full back story of key characters and companies: many of her key officers and crew were either from Liverpool or had strong links with the port, the ship's owners were based in the City, many of the most colourful tales emerging from the disaster relate to Liverpool people and here, where appropriate, we find out what happened to them after the sinking. Titanic and Liverpool will be compulsory reading for anyone interested in the Titanic and also for anyone hoping to understand Liverpool's role as the great processing port of Europe and gateway to the US and Canada.
