This book explores the tenuous existence of seafarers, divided
between their time on the ocean and their residence in sailortown
economies geared to exploit them. Particular attention is given
both to the contribution of seafarers as a global workforce into
the nineteenth century, and to their help in creating vibrant
multicultural enclaves in port cities worldwide. In addition,
research explores the scandalized opinions of outside observers,
challenging ideas about public behavior and relationships.
Sailortown myths persisted far into the twentieth century, to the
detriment of older waterfront districts and their residents, and
readers will find this book is invaluable in casting new light on
forgotten communities, whose lives bridged urban, maritime and
global histories.
