Seated by the Sea: The Maritime History of Portland, Maine, and Its Irish Longshoremen

by Michael C. Connolly

Book Overview

"Traces the rise of the Irish-American immigrant community in Portland, Maine, through its control of waterfront labor over eight decades before the port's twentieth century decline. The book is a valuable contribution to local labor history that situates its subject within the broader picture of U.S. history during a crucial period in the formation of the nation's economic and social identity."--Lincoln P.
