Cork's Docks & Dockers: Tales From the Port Of Cork (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781974635238)

A history of life on the docks of Ireland's Rebel City as told by those who lived it. Containing true-life accounts from a generation who experienced life ' down the quays, ' as well as humourous anecdotes, tall tales and photographs . This book is not just the story of those who worked on the quays of Cork City but also by anyone who has struggled to survive against the odds. It is a heartwarming tale of a life lived by those who were known as ' the salt of the earth '. It could have been set in Liverpool, Dublin, Glasgow, London or New York or any port city and only the accents would be different. The stories within these pages are those of a generation who knew only a life of ' blood sweat and beers ' but who retained a spirit and tenacity which enabled them to survive the hardest of times .
