Description

Brotherhood of the Sea chronicles the remarkable history of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific across a century of labour struggle and maritime activism. Spanning from 1885 to 1985, this Routledge publication examines the union's pivotal resurgence during the 1934 Pacific Coast waterfront strike, a transformative moment when dock workers and sailors united against enormous odds on San Francisco's Embarcadero. The narrative captures how the union, dormant since its post-World War I defeat, mobilised workers and faced down National Guard troops during one of America's most significant labour confrontations. This historical account reveals the organisation's evolution, internal dynamics, and lasting impact on maritime labour rights and working-class organising. Essential reading for anyone interested in labour history, union movements, industrial conflict, and the lives of Pacific seafarers during the twentieth century.

Key Features

Brotherhood of the Sea provides a comprehensive 100-year history of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific from 1885 through 1985, documenting labour struggles and maritime activism.

The book focuses extensively on the 1934 Pacific Coast waterfront strike, when dock workers and sailors united in a massive confrontation that reshaped labour relations.

Routledge's historical account details the union's resurgence after lying dormant following its defeat in the post-World War I period.

This used book in good condition offers accessible insight into San Francisco's Embarcadero conflict and National Guard involvement during the waterfront labour dispute.

The publication is essential for scholars, history enthusiasts, and those studying twentieth-century labour movements and maritime worker organising.
